Baking dish
Potato peeler
Mixing bowls
Frying pan
Oven
- 500 g potatoes
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 300 g fresh spinach
- 200 g ricotta cheese
- 100 g feta cheese
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 egg
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- to taste nutmeg
- 1 large potato thinly sliced
- olive oil for brushing
Boil the potatoes until soft, peel, and mix with an egg, melted butter, salt, and pepper to create a smooth mixture.
Spread the potato mixture evenly into the baking dish to form a base, and rough up the surface slightly with a fork.
In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add spinach until wilted.
Let the mixture cool slightly before adding ricotta, feta, an egg, and seasonings like nutmeg; taste and adjust as needed.
Spread the spinach-cheese mixture over the potato base and arrange thin potato slices on top, brushing with olive oil.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly; let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
For an extra crunch, sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese over the top before baking.
Substitute feta with goat cheese or ricotta with cottage cheese based on your preferences.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze tightly wrapped for quality preservation, thawing before reheating.
