Spinach and Garlic Mashed Potatoes

A little bit of experimenting led us to these mashed potatoes - with an exciting twist! We will definitely make them again!

We used heavy cream, because we had it on hand; milk and sour cream would substitute alright. We never skin our potatoes; the skin is the most nutritious part of the potato! Also, we always mash, never whip, our mashed potatoes for a better texture.

Ingredients:
4-6 potatoes
1 onion
1 T olive oil
3 T butter
1/2 C heavy cream
spices (garlic, black pepper, seasoned salt) to taste
1 C fresh spinach

Directions:
1. Dice and boil potatoes.
2. Meanwhile, saute onion in olive oil.
3. When cooked, drain and mash potatoes.
4. Stir in butter until melted.
5. Mix in heavy cream (or milk and sour cream).
6. Add spices to taste.
7. Tear spinach into small pieces and add to potatoes.
8. Heat until spinach is cooked.

Serves 4-6.
