RECIPE: Spinach Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Here's what I started with...



And it's this easy... except I learned that I should have chopped the spinach a few times before I threw it in the dish.

Boil the potatoes and then drain them. (I didn't even take a picture of that part - you know what it looks like.)



Then we get busy... melt butter, saute garlic...




Then add the cream and the spinach and toss until the spinach cooks down.

Add the cooked potatoes back to the pot and find your potato masher.



Next? Serve it up as a side dish for a yummy dinner.



Enjoy!!!
