Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
• 200g fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk
• 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a dairy-free version
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for greasing the pan

Optional Add-ins:

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for extra flavor)
• Nutmeg (a pinch for added warmth)
• Sun-dried tomatoes or mushrooms (for extra texture)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with olive oil.
2. Prepare the vegetables:
   • Thinly slice the potatoes using a sharp knife or a mandoline for even slices.
   • In a skillet, heat a little olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (optional).
3. Assemble the layers:
   • Arrange a layer of potato slices at the bottom of the greased baking dish.
   • Spread a portion of the sautéed spinach and onion mixture on top of the potato layer.
   • Sprinkle a little cheese over the spinach layer.
   • Repeat these layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of potatoes.
4. Prepare the cream mixture:
   • In a small bowl, mix the milk, cream, oregano, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the potatoes and spinach.
5. Bake:
   • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
   • After 30 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
6. Serve:
   • Let the bake rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle. Serve as is or with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
