Garlic Home Fries

Ingredients:

• Kosher salt
• 2 pounds large red bliss or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cube
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or bacon fat)
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley
• Freshly ground pepper

Preparation:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the potatoes, cover and cook over medium- high heat until just tender, about 6 minutes; drain.

2. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat; add the potatoes and spread into a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until they start browning on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and sprinkle with the paprika; flip the potatoes and cook 5 more minutes. Stir once, then continue cooking until the potatoes are mostly golden brown, about 5 more minutes.

3. Meanwhile, roughly chop the garlic, pile
the parsley on top and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Chop and mash together until finely

4. When the potatoes are done, add the garlic mixture to the skillet and toss to coat; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

3. Wilt the spinach by covering in a large frying pan with 2 Tbsp of water or chicken broth. 7-10 minutes.
4. While spinach is wilting sauté mushrooms and onion in a large frying pan until onions soften and mushrooms begin to release. 7-10 min
5. Drain spinach and combine with mushrooms and onion mixture. Add garlic to frying pan and combine for 1 minute.
6. Cool sautéed vegetables in a bowl and combine with feta cheese.
7. Whisk eggs, milk, parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl.
8. Spread spinach-mushroom mixture in the prepared pie dish; top with half the Swiss cheese.
