Steps:
- Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add baby spinach from four 6-ounce bags and cook 1 minute. Drain well. Squeeze out as much water as possible from spinach. Set spinach aside.
- Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until very tender, about 30 minutes. Drain well. Return potatoes to pot and mash until almost smooth. Set pot over low heat. Add butter and stir until melted. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups milk, mashing until smooth. Add cheese and reserved spinach and stir until cheese melts. Thin with more milk, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer potatoes to bowl.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for mashed potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water: Salting the water helps to flavor the potatoes and prevents them from becoming bland.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly: Make sure to drain the potatoes well before mashing them, otherwise they will be watery.
- Use a potato ricer or food mill: A potato ricer or food mill will help you to achieve a smooth and lump-free mashed potato texture.
- Add the spinach gradually: Add the spinach gradually to the mashed potatoes and stir until just combined. This will prevent the spinach from overpowering the flavor of the potatoes.
- Season to taste: Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or thyme for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Spinach-infused mashed potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. By following these tips, you can make the perfect spinach-infused mashed potatoes every time.
