Add chopped spinach to your basic mashed potatoes to contribute nutrients as well as a dash of color. Use leftover spinach in a tossed salad, or sauté it in olive oil with garlic. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon light stick butter |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 cup 1% low-fat milk |
3 tablespoons tub-style light cream cheese |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 2/3 cups frozen mashed potatoes |
1 cup chopped fresh baby spinach |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, and sauté 1 minute or until tender and lightly browned. Add milk and next 3 ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a simmer, and add potatoes. Cook 2 minutes or until potatoes are smooth and fluffy, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach; let stand 1 minute or until spinach begins to wilt. Serve immediately.
