Spinach And Semi Mashed Potatoes

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 5 ounces baby spinach (1 bag of dole, or similar brand baby spinach)
• 3 cups potatoes, rough diced (i prefer red potatoes diced, skin on is fine)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup shallot, diced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons butter (1 teaspoon to saute the onion and garlic, the rest to add to the potatoes)
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated as a garnish

Recipe

• 1 in a large sauce pan and 1 teaspoon of butter add the garlic and onion and cook 1 minute, just to get the raw flavor out and start cooking the onion.
• 2 add the chicken broth, cream and potatoes bring to medium heat. cook 10-12 minutes until soft but not too soft. you want a little texture to them. when you mash them with a fork you don't want them completely fall apart. then go ahead mash them up.
• 3 last step -- add the spinach. cover and cook on medium until the spinach is wilted. just until wilted. 3-4 minutes if that. season with salt and pepper and a dash of nutmeg. i like to add a teaspoon of fresh parsley and a dash of red pepper flakes. add the rest of the butter and if it is too thin, just add some more chicken broth or for a more creamy texture you can add so more cream. don't be afraid to add more broth or more cream if you want. there is no right or wrong.
