Nutritional Information

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut a 1⁄4 inch off the top of the head of garlic. Wrap garlic in aluminum foil and place in the oven. Roast until soft – approximately 40-50 minutes. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic pulp out of its paper skin and reserve pulp.
Place potatoes in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender – approximately 20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and sauté until slightly crispy – approximately 8 minutes. Reserve and keep warm.
Drain potatoes and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and mash potatoes with a hand masher. Add sour cream, milk, chives, salt, pepper, roasted garlic, and Gorgonzola. Mix well until smooth. Fold in the sausage.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach and sauté until spinach is bright green – approximately 1 minute. Fold spinach into mashed potato mixture and serve immediately.
