Vegan Spinach Mashed Potato Stuffed Mushrooms | thiswifecooks.com

These savory bites of garlicky spinach homestyle mashed potatoes topped with buttery Panko breadcrumbs make for an easy yet elegant appetizer. 

The filling can easily be made and stored in the fridge up to a day in advance making these perfectly suited for holiday gatherings.

Just fill the mushroom caps then pop them in the oven before serving.

Easy!

Ingredients for Spinach Mashed Potato Stuffed Mushrooms:

  • Russett potatoes
  • vegan butter
  • sea salt
  • ground black pepper
  • olive oil
  • garlic
  • baby spinach
  • Panko bread crumbs
  • garlic salt
  • baby Bella mushrooms – aka cremini mushrooms

How to make Spinach Mashed Potato Stuffed Mushrooms:

For the mashed potatoes: 
 
Peel potatoes, and dice into 1-inch cubes.
 
Place diced potatoes in a medium pot, and fill with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are fork-tender.
 
Drain potatoes in a colander, then return to the still-hot cooking pot. Using a potato masher or fork, mash potatoes to desired consistency.
 
Stir in butter, salt, and pepper.
 
For the spinach, into a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
 
Add garlic and cook for approximately 1 minute.
 
Add baby spinach leaves and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently until spinach leaves are wilted.
 
Remove from skillet and place in a colander.
 
Use the back of a spoon to press out any excess liquid.
 
Place spinach on a cutting board and chop finely.
 
For the topping:
 
Into a small bowl, add panko bread crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Toss to combine.
 
To assemble, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Into a medium-sized mixing bowl, add mashed potatoes and spinach. Stir well to combine.
 
Place mushrooms at least 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
 
Spoon mashed potato and spinach mixture into each mushroom cap.
 
Bake 10 minutes.
 
Remove stuffed mushrooms from oven and top with breadcrumb mixture.
 
Return to oven and bake an additional 5 minutes, until breadcrumbs are lightly golden in color.
 
Serve warm.

 

Pro tip: Save some prep time by using leftover mashed potatoes. 😉

 

Cheers!
