The potato cake with spinach and tomatoes is ideal for a party buffet. Whether served cold or warm, this protein-rich snack always goes over well.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg fresh spinach
  • Salt
  • 1 onion
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 400 g Low-fat quark
  • 100 g whipping cream
  • Pepper
  • nutmeg
  • 150 g tomatoes (3–4 small)
  • 500 g cooked potatoes

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Clean, wash and drain the spinach. Place it in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water and let it wilt with occasional stirring until it collapses; then drain, shock in cold water, and squeeze out excess moisture. Pat dry and roughly chop.

  2. 2.

    Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Melt some butter in a pan, sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat, remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3.

    Beat the eggs with quark, cream, spinach, onions, and garlic; season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

  4. 4.

    Wash the tomatoes, pat dry, and slice into rounds.

  5. 5.

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thicker slices. Grease a deep baking tray with remaining butter, arrange the potato slices on it, pour the spinach-quark mixture over them, and top with tomato slices. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (160 °C fan; gas: level 3–4) for about 35 minutes.
