Seeded Mustard and Spinach Potato Mash is a delicious and nutritious twist on classic mashed potatoes. This recipe combines the creamy texture of potatoes with the tangy flavor of mustard and the vibrant green goodness of spinach. It's a perfect side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses, from grilled meats to vegetarian options.
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. This ensures they cook evenly.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance the flavor.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are cooking, wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Roughly chop the spinach.
- In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over low heat until it is warm, but not boiling. This will make it easier to incorporate into the potatoes later.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well in a colander.
- Return the drained potatoes to the pot or place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes until smooth.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of mustard to the mashed potatoes and mix well to combine.
- Stir in the warm milk a little at a time, mashing as you go, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Fold in the chopped spinach. The residual heat from the potatoes will wilt the spinach nicely as you mix it in.
- Taste the mash and season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Serve the Seeded Mustard and Spinach Potato Mash hot as a delicious side dish for any meal.
Tips:
- Ensure the potatoes are cut into evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
- Boil the potatoes until they are very tender; this makes mashing easier and results in a smoother texture.
- For a richer flavor, you can use whole milk instead of 1% fat milk.
- Wilt the spinach in the microwave or on the stovetop before adding it to the mash to avoid excessive liquid.
- Mix in the mustard gradually and taste as you go to adjust to your preferred level of tanginess.
This Seeded Mustard and Spinach Potato Mash is a delightful blend of creamy, tangy, and nutritious elements that make it a standout side dish. Simple to prepare yet rich in flavor, it's sure to become a favorite at your dining table. Serve it alongside your favorite proteins or enjoy it as a hearty vegetarian option.
