Directions:
- Peel and quarter potatoes. Cook, covered, in a small amount of boiling lightly salted water for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender; drain.
- Meanwhile, for pesto, in a food processor combine basil, spinach, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts or almonds, garlic, and, if desired, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cover and process with several on-off turns until a paste forms, stopping the machine several times and scraping down the sides.
- With machine running, gradually add oil and water. Process to the consistency of soft butter.
- Mash warm potatoes with a potato masher or an electric mixer on low speed.
- Add cream cheese.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Gradually beat in enough milk to make potatoes light and fluffy.
- Top each serving with 1 teaspoon of the pesto.
- Cover and chill or freeze remaining pesto for another use.
