Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the oil.

Step 5

Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Stir again to distribute the seasonings.

Step 6

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and develop a golden-brown crust.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Step 8

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, one cup at a time, stirring after each addition to help it wilt down.

Step 9

Once all the spinach is incorporated, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook for another 3–4 minutes to allow the spinach to fully wilt and the potatoes to become tender.

Step 10

Remove the lid and stir to combine everything. Check for seasoning and adjust with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own for a light, flavorful meal.
