MASHED POTATO SPINACH BAKE

Mashed Potato Spinach Bake image

I LIKE this potato recipe because it's a make-ahead dish and when the company rings the bell, it can be placed in the oven. Of Swedish origin, it was first served to my husband and me when we visited our daughter in Michigan and this was part of her Easter meal. She had received it from a friend.
