These are my favorite potatoes especially when I am entertaining a large crowd , they bust with so much flavour and guess what?? they are so very easy to prepare and very economical. I stumbled on this recipe in a spice magazine about 6 years ago and ever since it has become on of my family's favorite and not to mention when I am running out of time and ideas..besides spinach has found a permanent residence in my refrigerator!!! and you will see why.
These potatoes original name was actually 'Spicy Herb Potatoes' and the recipe had called for arugula and alot of paprika. I adjusted it with spinach and alot of garlic thats another favorite of mine. I would usually pair them with fish, plenty of salad and vegetables . Its very difficult to pen down precise measurements for a dish like this, most of the time I just throw in ingredient, so dont be so uptight take it easy and be generous with spinach and garlic ...and did I mention Cilanto!!!...no harm ;)
Without any delay lets start ;
