Ingredients

Servings
  • 6-8 large Russet potatoes
  • 8 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of water until the potatoes are soft. 6-8 large Russet potatoes
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, place the thawed spinach in a strainer to drain as much water off as possible. 8 ounces frozen chopped spinach
  3. Preheat the oven to 400º Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
  4. Drain the water off the potatoes and mash the potatoes. Add the sour cream, salt, pepper and butter to the potatoes. Beat the potato mixture until it is fluffy. 3/4 cup sour cream, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 cup salted butter
  5. Stir the drained spinach into the mashed potatoes. 
  6. Spread the mixture in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the mashed potatoes. 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • If desired, you can bake the casserole for 15 minutes without the cheese so it doesn't melt too much. Add the cheese after 15 minutes and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
