Greek Potatoes
"My grandmother made spinach like this when I was a kid. Once I discovered how delicious it is on top of a baked potato, well, I haven't gone more than a few weeks without having one of these for dinner."

Simple, healthy and tasty. I used reduced fat feta and an olive oil spray instead of actual oil to keep the calories down. I had a Greek salad on the side to complete a healthy light meal. Made for Zee Zany Zesty Cookz for ZWT6. -
yum yum yum...two of my favorites thrown together!! i didnt have any feta left so i used a italian 3 cheese blend & it came out wonderful. made for zwt4! -
What a healthy and tasty way to eat a baked potato. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out delicious! I really liked the tartness added by the lemon juice, feta and plain yogurt. The flavors all blended so well together. I think next time I will make even more of the spinach mixture! Yum! -
Lovely way to serve baked potatoes! Love the fact that fresh spinach is used instead of frozen! Yuck! The only change made was to add a little more garlic. Otherwise, followed directions. Will have these again as we do love baked potatoes and spinach. Now love them served this way. Thnx so much for posting, EmmyDuckie. Made for ZWT4. -
Simple, tangy and tasty. I scaled the recipe down for one serving and had a great lunch. Thanks for posting!

I work in the lab of a large county hospital. Cooking, particularly exotic ethnic cuisines and fancy desserts is my therapy and stress relief. Being a geeky kind of person, I'm really into the science of food.
I'm getting into playing cooking games and contests on 'Zaar. Why not come play with us? It's lots of fun.
