Servings
8 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- olive oil cooking spray
- 1 10- ounce package frozen chopped spinach thawed, squeezed dry
- 8 ounces 1 package PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cut into 1 inch chunks
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 3 ounces feta cheese crumbled
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel the potatoes. Slice two of them crosswise into rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Slice the third potato lengthwise into rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Spray a large baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Place the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared pan and spray with additional cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning the slices once during baking time. While the potatoes are baking, mix the spinach with the cream cheese, eggs, parsley, dill, feta cheese and lemon peel. Season with black pepper to taste.
- Remove the potatoes from oven and place the round slices, overlapping them, on the bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan. Place the long slices along the sides. Spoon the spinach mixture into the pan.
- Bake the torta for 40 minutes or until the top feels firm and set. Remove the pan from the oven. Release the spring and carefully remove the sides of the pan. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
I am definitely making this during Passover – would be good anytime though – sounds great
Yay!! Love when you are told you need to make it.
I made this on Passover and was told that I needed to make it for Shavuot
Came out great. Cute idea to use the potatoes like that. Usually they are just grated.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE RECIPE!!!!! Not a thing needs changed or altered. Perfection in a Potato crust!!!
This was an incredible recipe! I served it for lunch the first day of Pesach and it got oohs and aahs! Easy to make and it looks exactly like the picture! Delicious!
This was a hit at our seder! Everyone loved this recipe. Visually it is stunning and it tastes great. We are having this next year!
Maybe goat cheese.
I am soo making this for the seder!
Can any other cheese be used in place of the feta cheese?
