Green Mashed Potatoes with Spinach

Mashed potatoes are a popular and beloved side dish. I propose to deviate a little from the classic recipe and make green puree! Its basis is all the same boiled potatoes. But spinach will be responsible for the green color of the dish. In the taste of mashed potatoes, spinach is not felt, perhaps a little and then, in the distance, but an effective serving of ordinary mashed potatoes is guaranteed!

• Potatoes – 600 g
• Fresh spinach – 80 g
• Butter – 30 g

4. Boil the potatoes until tender (for 20-25 minutes).
5. Then drain the potato broth from the pan into a suitable container (you still need it).
6. Rinse the spinach leaves and remove the tough stems.
7. Dip the spinach leaves in boiling water for 30 seconds.
8. Then put the spinach leaves in cold water for 10 seconds. Squeeze the spinach leaves out of the liquid.
9. Transfer the spinach leaves to a blender bowl. Pour 6 tbsp of potato broth.
