Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 kg potatoes about 5 large
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter melted
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 large garlic minced
- 3 cups baby spinach chopped
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp paprika
- 3/4 milk or cream
- 1 tspn salt
- 2 x 170grams canned tuna chunks drained
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1/2 cup mozarella cheese grated
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes. Place them in a pot, add some salt, top it up with water and boil until tender. A knife should slide through easily when cooked
- Place the olive oil and onion in a pan. Saute the onions until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a minute. Add the spinach and chilli flakes, fry for a few seconds. Remove from heat and set aside
- Once the potatoes are cooked, peel them and chop them up into cubes
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
- Place the melted butter, milk/cream, paprika in a bowl. Mix in the potatoes, tuna and spinach
- Place in an ovenproof dish. Top with melted cheese. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes or more, depending on whether your potatoes are fully cooked
- Allow it to stand for 5 minutes. Serve hot
Notes
- If your potatoes are not fully cooked you may require a bit more liquid when baking the dish in the oven
- I used half cheddar and half mozarella, you can use whatever you prefer. You can also add some parmesan if you prefer
- Milk or cream works fine for this dish
- If you want your cheese a golden brown you can turn the grill function on during the last few minutes of cooking time
