A friend served this casserole at a dinner party, and I had to ask for the recipe. I've made it for friends and relatives on a number of holidays and other special occasions since. The recipe is perfect for parties, because it can be prepared early in the day and baked later on when the guests arrive.

MASHED POTATO SPINACH CASSEROLE



Mashed Potato Spinach Casserole image

This is one of my old stand-by recipes from the More with Less Cookbook. It's a good one for those nights when I don't really feel like cooking. I suppose this is meant to be a side dish, but I always up the amounts a bit and serve it as a meatless main dish. The original recipe calls for the addition of dill seed and chives, but I never use them for our family.

Provided by Aslan

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Mashed Potato Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup diced yellow bell pepper
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
ground black pepper to taste
3 ounces baby spinach leaves
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons bacon bits
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup cream

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the red and yellow bell pepper, and cook until the peppers begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, and cook for 3 minutes more. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Season to taste with black pepper.
  • Once the potatoes have finished draining, return them to the pot along with the baby spinach, Parmesan cheese, bacon bits, and garlic; mash until smooth. Fold in the butter and cream until incorporated and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the mashed potatoes alongside the bell pepper gravy.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. They have a high starch content that will give you a smooth and fluffy texture.
  • To make sure your mashed potatoes are lump-free, use a potato ricer or food mill.
  • Don't overcook your potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Add your favorite seasonings to the mashed potatoes. Garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper are all good options.
  • For a cheesy mashed potato bake, add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mashed potatoes before baking.
  • If you're using fresh spinach, be sure to wash it thoroughly and chop it finely.
  • To make sure the spinach is evenly distributed throughout the bake, stir it into the mashed potatoes before baking.
  • Bake the mashed potato spinach bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until it is heated through and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Mashed potato spinach bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
