Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into medium-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

Step 2

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes cook, wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry.

Step 4

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the butter for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are done cooking, drain them well and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam dry for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk together over low heat until warm (do not boil).

Step 8

Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in the warm cream and milk mixture, followed by the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 9

Fold the sautéed spinach mixture into the whipped potatoes. Season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Serve the spinach whipped potatoes warm, garnished with a sprinkle of extra black pepper if desired. Enjoy!
