Spinach Artichoke Mashed Potatoes is outrageously good. This spectacular mashed potatoes casserole is filled with spinach, artichokes and roasted garlic. It's made creamy by adding cream cheese and sour cream. It's a delightful side dish that's wonderful for company or holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas. Gluten free.

Notes
NOTE: I have used marinated artichokes and they work fine, as well. Be sure to rinse them several times before adding to the recipe.NOTE: I have also prepared this recipe up to the point of baking and refrigerated it several hours before baking. Bake at 375° until heated through – about an hour or so.NOTE: Or, you can substitute about 4 pounds of large red potatoes, unpeeled and cooked, well drained.NOTE: Be sure to squeeze out all of the excess moisture from the spinach before adding to the recipe. Otherwise, you will end up with soupy mashed potatoes.
