I really wanted to love this... but I just didn't. Something about the potatoes & spinach mashed together seemed off texture wise. I will be keeping my potatoes & spinach (both of which I love separated from now on.

This was a great side dish. The whole family enjoyed it. The nutmeg really was a great spice added. As I did not add bacon the mash was still delicious!

These potatoes were a delicious side dish. I used fresh spinach, which I wilted with some butter first, then added to the potatoes. I also cooked some shallots & garlic in butter, which I also added to the dish. I omitted the bacon because I don't eat any pig.
