Ingredients
1 package (10 ounce) frozen chopped spinach
6 potatoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a medium casserole dish.
2. Cook spinach according to package directions. Place potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 15 minutes, or until tender but firm. Drain, cool slightly, and mash.
3. In a bowl, mix the spinach, mashed potatoes, butter, sour cream, onion, salt, and dill. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish. Top with Cheddar cheese.
4. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly brown.
Notes
Ensure the spinach is squeezed very dry to avoid a watery consistency.
Use sharp Cheddar for the best flavor profile.
This dish can be assembled 24 hours in advance and kept in the refrigerator.
