For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken broth and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. To prevent the potatoes from becoming gluey, avoid over-mashing. Warming the heavy cream before adding it to the mashed potatoes will help to maintain their temperature and create a smoother consistency. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Asiago, to add a unique flavor to the mashed potatoes.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with generously salted water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot to steam dry for 1-2 minutes. (Total time: 22 minutes)
02
StepSauté the Peppers: While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and become slightly translucent, about 3-5 minutes. (Total time: 5 minutes)
03
StepMake the Gravy: Stir the flour into the softened peppers and cook, stirring constantly, for another 2-3 minutes to create a roux. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. (Total time: 20 minutes)
04
StepMash the Potatoes: Once the potatoes have finished steaming dry, return them to the pot. Add the baby spinach, Parmesan cheese, bacon bits, and minced garlic. Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth. (Total time: 5 minutes)
05
StepEnrich the Potatoes: Gently fold in the cold, cubed butter and warmed heavy cream until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy texture. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground white pepper. (Total time: 3 minutes)
06
StepServe: Serve the spinach-infused mashed potatoes immediately alongside the vibrant bell pepper gravy. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or bacon bits, if desired.
