    Super easy recipe for cheesy spinach mashed potato cups.  Great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.  This dish even got my son to try spinach!

    Confession: I made this recipe eight months ago and I'm just getting around to sharing it.   You're going to laugh at the reason for my tardiness.  When I first prepared this dish I was at the beginning of this pregnancy and also at the beginning of my morning sickness and food aversion.  White potatoes happened to be one of the food items that I couldn't eat, couldn't smell, couldn't look at, couldn't think about.

    I unloaded the photos from the memory card and there they sat on my hard drive.  Though I have felt better for a long time, I still have a few weird food issues that will give me "flashbacks" to when I couldn't handle much food at all, and so it's taken me until now to be able to pull out these photos and share this recipe.  But now the time has come!

    It's a good thing, too, because this really is a great recipe to keep around.  If you have some leftover mashed potatoes and a box of frozen spinach, you can have these on the table for a tasty and not-too-terribly-unhealthy side dish in no time.  They are made in a standard muffin tin and are great for kids - their little hands can pick them up and bite right into them.  My son loved them!

      I’ve not used the recipe yet. It is saved. BUT…it doesn’t say the servings nor the number it makes. So how do I know if I need 2 or 3 X the ingredients??????

      Does this freeze and reheat well?

        I've never tried to freeze them but I don't see why not - just make sure you wrap them up well to prevent any air reaching them in the freezer. I'd recommend reheating in the oven (350F would be fine), unwrapped, until warm all the way through.
