This is one of my old stand-by recipes from the More with Less Cookbook. It's a good one for those nights when I don't really feel like cooking. I suppose this is meant to be a side dish, but I always up the amounts a bit and serve it as a meatless main dish. The original recipe calls for the addition of dill seed and chives, but I never use them for our family.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 large potatoes
1/3-1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
2-4 tablespoons butter (optional)
milk
1 cup cooked frozen spinach, well drained and chopped (I just use frozen, thawed and pressed dry)
1/2-1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon dill seed (optional)
2 teaspoons chives (optional)

Directions

1
Peel, cook and mash potatoes.
2
Add sour cream, salt, pepper (and butter if desired).
3
Mix in enough milk to bring it to your favorite mashed potato consistency.
4
Add spinach (and seasonings if desired).
5
Place in casserole dish and top with grated cheddar cheese. (sometimes I also mix a bit of the cheese in with the potatoes before topping).
6
Bake in 350 oven for 20-30 minutes.
7
We like to serve this with corn, which usually ends up mixed in with all the rest.

YUM! I love spinach, but DF is not too fond of it (along with mushrooms). However, I always find try to find a way to put them in many dishes. He loved these potatoes so much, he asked for seconds! YAH! I only had 2 large russets, 10 oz of frozen spinach, and 1/2 cup colby jack on hand. I made mashed potatoes as I normally would: boil, drain, mash. I added the butter and appropriate milk, continued with sour cream and cheese, salt and pepper. Although I wish I would have had more cheese on hand, I think it turned out great! Even with being 2 potatoes short from the recipe, we still ending up having 5 large servings. It seems like that kind of recipe that as long as you have the basic ingredients, you can fix it up any way you like. Great, love it! I am going to start making it all the time.

I hate spinach... but not with this recipe! I changed a few things. I used fresh spinach, dill instead of dill seed, sweet onion instead of chives and added about a handful of romano cheese. This was so good, and tasted very ukrainian (which I am and love). Thanks so much!!
