Tips:

Choose the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are good choices for this soup, as they have a smooth texture and hold their shape well.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the potatoes. If you add too many potatoes to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly.
Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor than frozen spinach.
Don't overcook the spinach. Overcooked spinach will become mushy.
Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
Serve the soup hot. Creamy spinach potato soup is best served hot, with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
