Ingredients

  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dill weed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a casserole dish with nonstick spray; set aside.
  • Place the peeled, cubed potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch.
  • Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10–15 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and mash them with the butter until mostly smooth, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • Thoroughly squeeze any excess liquid from the thawed spinach, then add the drained spinach to the mashed potatoes.
  • Stir in the sour cream, onion powder, salt, dill weed, and black pepper until the mixture is evenly combined.
  • Spread the spinach mashed potatoes evenly into the prepared casserole dish without compacting them.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the center is hot and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
