Spinach And Potato Galette

 

Recipe By :Good for Your Heart Cookbook, Helen Middleton

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Potatoes Vegetarian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 pounds potatoes -- large ones

1 pound fresh spinach

2 eggs

14 ounces lowfat cream cheese -- (1 3/4 cups)

1 tablespoon grainy mustard

3 tablespoons fresh herbs -- chopped

(e.g. chives, parsley, chervil or sorrel)

salt

freshly ground pepper

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a deep 9 inch cake pan with parchment

paper. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a

boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain well and allow to cool slightly before

peeling and slicing thinly

 

Wash the spinach well and place in a large pot with only the water that is

clinging to the leaves. Cover and cook, stirring once, until the spinach has

just wilted. Drain well in a sieve and squeeze out the excess moisture. Chop

finely.

 

Beat the eggs with the cream cheese and mustard then stir in the chopped spinach

and fresh herbs.

 

Place a layer of the sliced potatoes in the lined pan, arranging them in

concentric circles. Top with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and spread

out. Continue layering, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go, until all the

potatoes and the cream cheese, mixture are used up.

 

Cover the pan with a piece of foil and place in a roasting pan. Fill the

roasting pan with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides, and cook in

the oven for 45-50 minutes. Turn out onto a plate and serve hot or cold.
