THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



The Best Spinach Artichoke Dip image

This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated
One 10-ounce box frozen leaf spinach, thawed, drained, squeezed dry and coarsely chopped (see Cook's Note)
One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained well and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup shredded whole-milk mozzarella
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crackers, chips or toasted bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 russet potatoes, scrubbed
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 can artichoke heart, drained and roughly chopped
3 ½ cups frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained
8 oz cream cheese, cubed, room temperature
4 oz sour cream
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Rub the potatoes all over with the canola oil and season on all sides with ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Working the batches if needed, nestle the potatoes inside of the air fryer basket and set the timer for 45 minutes. Cook, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes have crispy skin and can easily be pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, make the spinach and artichoke dip: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together until the butter begins to bubble. Add the onion, garlic, remaining teaspoon of salt, the black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Add the artichoke hearts and spinach and cook until the spinach is well incorporated, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese and sour cream until fully incorporated, 1-2 minutes. Add 1 cup of mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese and stir until just combined and melted, 1-2 minutes more.
  • Using tongs, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and cut in half lengthwise. Use a fork to fluff the insides of the potatoes. Top each potato with a heaping ½ cup of the spinach and artichoke dip, then top each with 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese.
  • Working in batches of 2-4 at a time, set the filled potato halves in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes, until the edges of the potato are browned and the mozzarella is melted and browning.
  • Enjoy!

SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE TWICE BAKED POTATOES



Spinach and Artichoke Twice Baked Potatoes image

I'd been craving that ever-so-famous, ooey, gooey spinach artichoke dip lately and decided to combine it with some lovely looking Russet potatoes I had also been craving. This was an experiment because I wasn't sure the two would work well together, and (confession here) I'd never made a twice baked potato. And yes, the...

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 large russet potatoes scrubbed
3 Tbsp butter, room temperature
3 Tbsp half and half
pinch kosher salt
ROASTED GARLIC
1 small head of garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE FILLING
4 oz neufchatel cheese, softened
1/4 c parmigiano-reggiano, grated
1/4 c mozzarella, shredded
1/4 c sour cream, lite
1/4 c mayonnaise, light
1/4 c frozen spinach, thawed and chopped
4 artichoke hearts from a can, drained, and chopped
roasted garlic
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp hot sauce

Steps:

  • 1. To roast the garlic: Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. Place a baking sheet in the oven as it pre heats. Remove some of the outer layers of the garlic skin if they are plentiful. Cut the top off the head of the garlic and place on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Seal the foil and place on pre-heated baking sheet. Roast 30-40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and squeeze the roasted pulp into your mixing bow (discard the skin).
  • 2. While garlic is cooling, bake your scrubbed potatoes in the already preheated 400 degree oven for 1 hour. Before baking, I poke my potatoes with a fork to allow steam to escape, although I'm not sure if that is necessary. While potatoes are cooking, make the dip, and that's a pretty simple task. Combine all ingredients with a flexible spatula, taste and see if you need more hot sauce.
  • 3. Remove potatoes from oven and when they are cool enough to handle, slice them in half and carefully hollow out the pulp and place in small mixing bowl. I wasn't as careful as I should have been and ripped one. Lesson here: Next time I will make at least one extra potato. Also, leave about 1/4 inch of potato clinging to the skin. It makes for a sturdier package. Oh, now is a good time to set your oven to 350 degrees, getting ready for the second bake.
  • 4. In mixing bowl add 3 T softened butter and 2 or 3 T half and half to the potato pulp. I added a pinch of salt as well, just because potatoes love to be salted. Try to get the potato mixture as smooth as possible.
  • 5. Now take your artichoke dip and add it to the luxurious potatoes. Combine well and fill your potato canoes.
  • 6. Top with a little extra mozzarella cheese if you like, and bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is melty and you can't wait another minute!
