Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for brushing
1 onion, chopped (2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound curly-leaf spinach, thick stems removed, sliced (8 packed cups)
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into a 1/2-inch dice (3 cups)
1 1/2 cups whole milk
12 large eggs
Scant 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
6 ounces fontina, coarsely grated (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush a 2-quart baking dish with butter. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Add spinach and thyme; cook until spinach wilts and darkens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and milk; season with pepper.
  • Simmer until milk thickens and reduces slightly and potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife but still retain their shape, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk eggs with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and nutmeg. Stir cooled potato mixture and half of cheese into eggs.
  • Transfer to prepared baking dish and cover with parchment-lined foil. (If assembling the day before, wrap the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake). Bake casserole, covered, 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle evenly with remaining half of cheese, and continue baking until set and golden brown in places, 15 to 25 minutes more (if the top is browning too quickly, tent with foil). Let cool slightly before serving.

Categories     Spinach

Time 1h25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large baking potatoes (about 3 lbs I have also used 3 lbs of red potatoes. Your preference.)
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 lb fresh white mushroom, sliced thin
1 1/2 lbs spinach, stemmed & washed
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 lb gruyere cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Grease 2 large baking sheets& set them aside.
  • Scrub potatoes under cold water.
  • Do not peel.
  • Cut potatoes lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices.
  • Place slices in a large bowl.
  • Add 4 T olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper to bowl.
  • Toss the potatoes gently coating them as best you can.
  • It is easiest to do by hand, but a little messy.
  • Once tossed, lay potatoes out on prepared baking sheets.
  • Try not to overlap.
  • Cover pans tightly with aluminum foil& bake for 30 minutes (see below what to do while potatoes are baking).
  • When done, remove pans from oven.
  • Uncover to cool.
  • Do not turn oven off.
  • While potatoes are baking, heat remaining 2 T oil in a large pot.
  • Add onions and cook over medium heat until soft (about 5 minutes).
  • Add mushrooms until they throw off their juices (about another 5 minutes).
  • Stir in spinach.
  • then add salt& pepper to taste.
  • Cover and cook til spinach wilts (about 4 minutes).
  • Uncover and cook off any liquid in the pot.
  • Remove the pot from heat and stir in ricotta.
  • Grease a 13 X 9 inch baking pan.
  • Line the bottom of pan with 1/3 of potatoes.
  • Spoon 1/2 spinach mixture over layer of potatoes& sprinkle with 1/3 of cheese.
  • Make another layer of potatoes, cover with remaining spinach mixture& another 1/3 of the cheese.
  • Lastly, cover with remaining potatoes& sprinkle the rest of the cheese.
  • Bake until the casserole turns golden brown on top.
  • Approximately 25 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven& let settle for 5 minutes before cutting up slices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this casserole because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach will give the casserole a brighter flavor than frozen spinach.
  • Wilt the spinach before adding it to the casserole: This will help to remove excess moisture and prevent the casserole from becoming watery.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the casserole a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The potatoes should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make them mushy.

Conclusion:

Potato Spinach Swirl Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and spinach, and it is also a good source of protein and fiber. This casserole can be served as a main course or a side dish, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
