Ingredients
  

For the Gratin
  • 1 tablespoon butter for greasing the dish
  • 5 medium red potatoes washed, peeled, and thinly sliced (1/8-inch thick)
  • 4 bags fresh spinach about 10-12 oz, wilted and squeezed dry
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
For the Cream Sauce
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with butter.
  3. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly.
  4. Spread the wilted and squeezed spinach evenly over the potato layer.
  5. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the spinach.
  6. Arrange the remaining potato slices on top of the feta cheese.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  8. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it covers them evenly. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for another 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let the gratin rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows it to set properly.

Notes

This Spinach Feta Potato Gratin is a delicious and hearty side dish or a light main course. For a richer flavor, you can add a clove of minced garlic to the cream mixture. Serve with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
