Can easily be turned into a main dish by adding a meat. I made something similar to this recently (modified from a \"colcannon\" recipe) by adding bits of cooked Corned beef that I had cooked in a crock pot all day. Then instead of stirring all together I just stirred the beef into the potatoes and made layers of potato mixter, layer of spinach, althernating...it turned out so pretty when sliced and would be beautiful for a Christmas brunch or dinner because of the pretty colors!<\/p>","CommentId":4,"DateRated":"","GUID":"71633839537a4574bca515cebed73bb0","MemberId":1585379,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"SaraSTR","SubmittedDate":"08\/28\/2009 18:48"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"04\/13\/2009 14:42","GUID":"aacb22b25ac440ccb567a67d61280aff","MemberId":1868931,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"klorey","SubmittedDate":"04\/13\/2009 14:42"},{"Comment":"
