How to Make Scalloped Potatoes With Spinach And Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and thinly slice 2 lbs potatoes. Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. While potatoes soak, sauté 10 oz fresh spinach with 1 tbsp olive oil until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp nutmeg.
  6. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the potatoes, half of the spinach, and half of the 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Pour half of the milk mixture over the first layer.
  8. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, spinach, cheese, and milk mixture.
  9. Top with remaining cheese.
  10. Bake for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly. If using a slow cooker, combine all ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
