This was outstanding. Simple, familiar ingredients, prepared a whole new way, at least for me. I used about 1-1/2 cups of chopped, fresh baby spinach, and did not boil it first. I didn't see the point. I added the spinach to the potatoes I stir-fried during the last few minutes just to wilt it, then added the sauce. That was perfect to me. I did find I needed to bake the dish longer than 20 minutes because the potatoes were still too firm. Perhaps I didn't stir-fry them long enough, or perhaps it is just personal preference that I like my potatoes a little more done. Nevertheless, with a little experimentation, this dish definitely has 5-star potential and I really enjoyed it. I will be making this again, and I look forward to other 'Zaar members' comments on this one. Thank you, and best wishes, Nanu! :)
