How To Make cheesy cheddar and spinach mashed potatoes
-
Step 1Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer about 20 minutes, until tender. Drain and return to pot.
-
Step 2Add the milk, broth, butter and 3/4 tsp. salt. Mash with a potato masher until fairly smooth.
-
Step 3Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally until very tender, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Step 4Add the spinach in batches and cook until spinach is wilted and any liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 5Spread half the potato mixture into a sprayed 2-qt. baking dish. Top with half of the spinach mixture and half of the cheese. Top with the remaining potato mixture, the remaining spinach mixure and the remaining cheese.
-
Step 6Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 400º oven until the filling is heated through and the topping is browned and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
