Ingredients
– 4 large potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold)
– 2 cups fresh spinach
– 1 cup mushrooms (sliced, any variety)
– 1 medium onion (chopped)
– 3 cloves garlic (minced)
– ¼ cup heavy cream (or vegetable broth for a lighter option)

– ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions
Making Potatoes with Mushroom Spinach is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prep the Potatoes: Peel and cube the potatoes into small, even pieces for uniform cooking.
2. Boil Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Toss in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms release their juices and become tender, around 5-6 minutes.
5. Incorporate Spinach: Add the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in salt, black pepper, and paprika if desired.
6. Combine Potatoes and Cream: Drain the cooked potatoes and add them to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the heavy cream and mix until everything is well combined.
7. Mash (Optional): For a creamier texture, you can lightly mash the potatoes using a fork or potato masher while mixing.
8. Add Cheese (Optional): Stir in grated Parmesan cheese if using, and mix until melted and evenly distributed.
9. Season to Taste: Adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
10. Serve Hot: Transfer the dish to a serving bowl or platter. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs for a pop of color.
With these uncomplicated steps, you’ll have a delightful dish ready in no time!
