Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a deep sided 8 inch round baking dish.

  • Add the potatoes to the cream mixture and coat well. Spoon about half of the potatoes into the baking dish. Top with the onions, spinach and bout 2/3 of the cheese. Top with remaining potatoes, cheese and parsley.
  • Cover and bake for about 1 1/2 hours. Uncover and return to oven for 15 more minutes. Remove from oven and allow to set for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. Make sure the potatoes are sliced very thin to ensure them cooking through. Nobody likes raw potatoes.
  2. Squeeze all of the excess liquid out of the spinach. Otherwise, you will end up with an over liquidy dish.
