When trying to decide on a side dish everyone will love, you can’t go wrong with simple and savory mashed potatoes. They’re a crowd favorite and comfort food classic.

Perfect as a holiday side dish, portable for a potluck, and easy enough for everyday dinners at home.

Ingredients for Spinach Mashed Potatoes:

  • 2 pounds potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
  • 6 ounces baby spinach leaves, by weight

How to make Spinach Mashed Potatoes:

For the potatoes:

Into a large saucepan, add the cubed potatoes and enough water to cover by 1-inch.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, approximately 15 minutes.

Drain potatoes in a colander then return to the saucepan.

For the spinach:

While the potatoes are simmering, add the olive oil to a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat.

When the oil is hot add the baby spinach leaves.

Cook, stirring frequently until the leaves begin to wilt.

Add the minced garlic then continue cooking an additional 1 minute.

Remove cooked spinach to a cutting board. Rough chop and set aside.

Putting it all together:

Into the pot with the potatoes, add the vegan butter, unsweetened almond milk, sea salt, and ground black pepper.

Use a potato masher to mash to desired consistency.

Add the cooked spinach.

Stir everything together to combine.

Adjust seasoning taste.

Serve hot.

 

Cheers!
