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.

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.

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium russet potatoes (10 to 12 ounces each)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus melted butter for brushing
1 9-ounce package baby spinach (about 10 cups), large stems removed
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup cold heavy cream

Steps:

  • Position racks in the middle and upper third of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes and dry well. Bake directly on the middle oven rack until easily pierced with a knife, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach (in batches, if needed) and cook, tossing with tongs, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, nutmeg, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to high and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a cutting board and finely chop; squeeze dry in a kitchen towel.
  • One at a time, hold each potato with another kitchen towel and halve lengthwise. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Mash the flesh with the remaining 3 tablespoons butter until smooth; season with salt. Stir in the egg yolks and parmesan, then the spinach mixture. Brush the potato skins with melted butter; season the insides with salt and pepper. Set on a baking sheet.
  • Beat the heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Stir about one-quarter of the whipped cream into the potato mixture, then gently fold in the rest.
  • Mound the filling into the potato skins. Return to the oven on the top rack and bake until the filling is warmed through and starts browning, about 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until the filling is golden brown and the skins are crisp, 1 to 2 more minutes.
