Yield: 4 servings
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
½ cup | Onion (fresh), chopped |
2 tablespoons | Butter |
2 cups | Water |
1 teaspoon | Salt |
2 cups | Potatoes (about 2 pounds of raw potatoes) |
1 teaspoon | Worcestershire sauce |
2 cups | Spinach (chopped), cooked (fresh or frozen) |
13 ounces | Evaporated milk (one standard can) |
½ pounds | Cheese, grated (Cheddar and Swiss work best, but any kind will do) |
In a 3-quart saucepan, saute the onion in the butter until the onion is translucent (about 3 minutes).
Add water, potatoes, spinach and salt. Cook until potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes). Longer cooking does not hurt, but turn down the heat to a simmer. Add milk and Worcestershire sauce. Reheat to near boiling, but do not boil. Stir in grated cheese. Serve immediately.
