Grandma Reedy’s Spinach
This is a staple at all family gatherings since I was in diapers so long ago. Everyone knows it but no one has ever written it down, UNTIL NOW! Great Grandma Reedy gets the credit. When doing some research on German recipes for our German friend, I found that German Creamed Spinach is very similar, but there is no cream in this recipe.

Robuchon Style Mashed Potatoes
Robuchon-style mashed potatoes, named after renowned chef Joël Robuchon, are the epitome of luxurious comfort food. These ultra-smooth and velvety potatoes are made with a high ratio of butter to potatoes, typically using starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold. The potatoes are boiled, passed through a fine sieve or food mill, and then slowly emulsified with butter and a touch of hot milk for a silky texture. The result is a rich, creamy, and decadent dish that melts in your mouth, often regarded as the gold standard of mashed potatoes.
