May 6th: Cheddar mashed potatoes, Spinach with roasted peppers & goat cheese

Two delicious retries for supper tonight. From May 2010's Today's Parent: Cheddar Mashed Potatoes, and from May 2010's Chatelaine: Sautéed spinach with roasted peppers & goat cheese.

The cream-mashed potatoes are layered in a baking dish with Cheddar cheese and whole deal is baked so that you have a soft cheesy layer in the middle and a crusty cheese layer on top of piping-hot potatoes. Ridiculously good. I think the nutmeg adds a lovely flavour; if you're not a fan, definitely leave it out.

The brown bits poking through are potato skins.
The recipe said to peel the potatoes, but I rarely do.
I also used russets where it called for Yukon Gold potatoes.

I roasted the red peppers as per HtCEV. I then whipped up a quick spinach sauté with the peppers, garlic, lemon and goat cheese. Delicious.

Olivia's plate often goes into the freezer to cool off for a minute or two.
Supper, served with frozen edamame and corn on the side (or top).
