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.

Peel, cook and mash potatoes.
Add sour cream, salt, pepper (and butter if desired).

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are the best choices for mashed potato casserole, as they have a fluffy and creamy texture when cooked.
Cook the potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they mash smoothly and create a creamy casserole.
Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach adds a vibrant green color and a slightly bitter flavor to the casserole. If you are using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly before adding it to the casserole.
Season the casserole well: Mashed potato casserole is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your taste. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and any other herbs or spices that you like.
Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is done when it is bubbly and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the casserole dry and crumbly.
