"Mashed potatoes are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and they're regularly used to create soft, filling, and satisfying meals - but tucking into a heap of them doesn't always feel like the healthiest choice. Even if it's just the thought that nothing so delicious could be good for you, you might want to add a healthy twist to this classic side using just spinach and garlic."
"Hanh's mashed potato recipe uses an entire head of oven-roasted garlic - cutting a ½ inch off of the pointed head, adding oil and salt, and wrapping it in foil. Baked in the oven while the potatoes simmer, this process transforms the garlic's sharp raw taste into mellow, caramelized flavors. Meanwhile, the sautéd and blended spinach brings mild earthy notes to help balance the fattiness of the butter and sour cream, as well as adding flecks of vibrant green for a visual upgrade."
Mashed potatoes provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber but can feel indulgent. Roasting a whole head of garlic mellows and caramelizes its sharp flavor through cutting, oiling, salting, wrapping, and baking while potatoes simmer. Sautéed and blended spinach contributes calcium, vitamins A and C, folic acid, fiber, and abundant vitamin K, supplying about 80% of recommended daily vitamin K per serving. Garlic contains compounds that may reduce cold severity, blood pressure, and cholesterol. Spinach adds mild earthy notes and vibrant green flecks that help balance butter and sour cream richness.
