At an ALDI store, I saw a frozen food package named ‘Spinach & Ricotta Potato Gratin’ and it looked so yummy. I don’t buy processed food these days but I wanted to try it. So I created it by myself. I can declare that this is another Super-easy Recipe. You can bake all servings in one large oven dish or individual servings in ramekins like I did.

Steps

1

Peel Potatoes and cut into small cubes. Cook in salted water until soft. Drain and half-mash lightly.
2

Heat 1/2 tablespoon Oil in a frying pan and cook finely chopped Onion and Garlic until tender. Season with Salt and Pepper.
3

Defrost the frozen Spinach pieces and remove excess liquid. If you use Fresh Spinach, you can cook it with the Onion.
4

Combine half-mashed Potatoes, Onion mixture, Spinach and Ricotta. Add some more Salt and Pepper to taste only if requires. Be careful as Ricotta can be quite salty.
5

Oil the base and side of ramekins or a baking dish and spoon the mixture. Top with plenty of grated Parmesan Cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.

Note: It can be easily removed from the ramekins, so that you can place the individual gratin on serving plates.
