Great way to add some pizzazz to ordinary mashed potatoes. I made a few changes because I'm lazy, but I don't think they affected the outcome. I left the potatoes unpeeled, because It's a pain to peel baby potatoes. I also did not puree the artichokes because I did not want to get out the processor, so I just finely chopped the artichokes instead. Great side dish! -
If you like spinach artichoke dip then this recipe is for you. The potatoes were medium size Yukon gold with skins left on. Yogurt was used in place of the sour cream and 2% milk for the milk. The potatoes and a portion of the artichoke hearts were mashed with a potato masher and then the remainder folded in with the spinach. The potatoes served as a base for Roman Stew during ZWT 7. -
This was quite tasty. Instead of frozen spinach I used fresh (blanched and chopped baby spinach), and instead of sour cream I used 2% fat yogurt. I recommend using more parmesan cheese as well, maybe 1/4 cup to keep the calories down but the taste up:) Thanks from someone living near Broadway (though downtown, not in the theatre district). :) -
fantastic! i added quite a bit more parmesean...maybe a 1/2 cup and they were delicious! -
This was really good. I decreased the spinach a little, cuz my boys are a little picky.

I was looking for a tasty use of leftover artichoke hearts (other than my usual pasta salad) from making my "everything" pizza. I wanted mashed potatoes with an accent, so I doubled the amount of potatoes using mostly Red Bliss with two purple potatoes. I skipped the sour cream, and used colby cheese instead of parmesan. Really quite tasty! -

These are awesome! I left out the parmesan and used soy milk instead of regular. I also substituted cream cheese for the sour cream. Fabulous recipe!

Simply put, this was divine. Beef makes a rare appearance on my dinner table, so when it happens, a special accompaniment is required. As someone on the WW Core program, I had to make a few changes that are common to me and suit my tastes. Used fat free sour cream and replaced the margarine with 4 teaspoons of a high quality extra virgin olive oil. Was planning to skip the Parmesan on mine but on taste decided it added so much to the dish it was well worth the points. I loved the earthy salty combination here as well as the textural contrasts. Thanks so much!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
This is a picture of my boyfriend and me at my company's fancy holiday party in December 2007.
I graduated with my BA in musical theatre a few years ago. I'm now living in the big city doing the 9-5 thing while I try to make this acting thing work. Theatre and singing (and my boyfriend!) are what fire me up, but cooking is what chills me out. I love to come home and try a new recipe. In August 2006 I was diagnosed with a gluten allergy, and I've also been diabetic since the age of 14 so food can sometimes be a challenge; but I love experimenting in the kitchen and finding new options.
