Creamed spinach potato is a comforting and nutritious dish that's perfect as a side or even a main course. With a creamy spinach mixture combined with hearty potatoes, it's a delightful way to enjoy vegetables. Follow this easy recipe to make a delicious meal for your family or friends.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Once they are cooked, drain the water and set the potatoes aside.
- While the potatoes are cooking, thaw the frozen spinach. Once thawed, squeeze out excess water from the spinach to ensure it is as dry as possible. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until they are softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the whole-grain wheat flour over the onions, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, and cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the nonfat milk. Continue to whisk and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the thawed and drained spinach to the skillet, mixing well to combine with the cream sauce. Heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the sour cream and Worcestershire sauce, mixing until everything is well incorporated. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Arrange the cooked potatoes on a serving dish or individual plates.
- Spoon the creamed spinach mixture over the potatoes.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a hearty main course. Enjoy your Creamed Spinach Potato!
Tips:
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the creamed spinach.
- If you prefer a thicker cream mixture, let it simmer a bit longer to reduce and thicken.
- Use fresh spinach if you prefer, but make sure to cook and drain it thoroughly before adding to the mixture.
- For a crispy topping, consider sprinkling some grated cheese on top and broiling for a few minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove.
Your creamed spinach potato is now ready to be served! This dish pairs wonderfully with a variety of main courses or can be enjoyed on its own. Enjoy the rich flavors and hearty textures in every bite.
