This hearty main course is easy to make and packed with the goodness of fresh vegetables. The combination of spinach, potatoes, and cheese make it a fulfilling meal for any time of the day.

Instructions

1.	Wash the spinach thoroughly and chop it roughly. Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks.
2.	Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of water for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Drain them and set them aside.
