Fabulous Florentine Mashed Potatoes image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: This recipe is reminiscent of a mashed potato dish my Italian grandmother made which was a favorite of my childhood. The technique is the same but I was able to be creative and change most of the ingredients to create a whole new dish! I love this recipe because the Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes make it soooo much easier. A yummy side dish (or a great midnight snack!

I've never made mashed potatoes with spinach before, but I'm glad I tried this recipe. The spinach adds a nice pop of color and nutrients. The potatoes were also very creamy and smooth.

The potatoes were a little bland. I think I would have liked them better with more salt and pepper.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with less cheese.
