Ingredients:
- 450 grams of potatoes, peeled and sliced
- Water (for boiling potatoes)
- Salt (to taste, for seasoning)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Vegetable oil (for cooking and greasing the casserole dish)
- 250 grams of spinach, washed and roughly chopped
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 150 grams pizza mozzarella, shredded
- Additional salt for seasoning
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the sliced potatoes.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Spinach and Onion:
- In a skillet, heat a little vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts down and most of the moisture evaporates. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Casserole:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a casserole dish with some vegetable oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the cream cheese, granulated garlic, and baking powder. Season with salt to taste.
- Layer half of the boiled potatoes at the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
- Spread the spinach and onion mixture over the potatoes.
- Pour half of the egg mixture over the spinach layer.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes and egg mixture.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
- Bake the Casserole:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs have set.
- Serve:
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to cut into portions.
- Serve warm, perhaps with a side of crusty bread or a light salad.
Serving Suggestions:
This Spinach and Potato Casserole can be enjoyed as a brunch item or as a main dish for dinner. It pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed with vinaigrette or as a side dish to a more substantial meat course, making it a versatile option for family meals or gatherings.
