You are going to love these potatoes stuffed with spinach and cheese. And it is that they can be served as a main dish, but also as a garnish for many dishes, fitting especially well with a piece of meat or meat. grilled or pan salmon. Isn't your mouth watering already?
These stuffed potatoes are very easy to prepare, although we cannot deny that they take time. A time in which we will have little more to do than take a look at the oven, but time at the end of the day. Now, the final flavor of these potatoes is well worth it.
You can use the cheese that you like the most to make this recipe. From blue cheese if you are looking for a more intense and genuine flavor to cream cheese to achieve a more subtle and smooth result. As for spinach, you can use both frozen and fresh or do without them. I have done it in one of the potatoes, although the amounts have been calculated so that the spinach covers both.
