Seeded mustard and spinach potato mash

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.

Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 tbsp mustard
16g
2 cups spinach
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. This ensures they cook evenly.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Spinach:
- While the potatoes are cooking, wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Roughly chop the spinach.
4. Heat the Milk:
- 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.
5. Mash the Potatoes:
- 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.
6. Mix in the Mustard and Spinach:
- 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.
7. Season and Serve:
- 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.
