Amount Ingredient
1 prt mashed potatoes
1 prt spinach cooked
nonfat ricotta or cottage cheese
lowfat sour cream
shallots or onions
garlic
oregano, cumin paprika
onion soup mix
Instructions:
Instructions: Equal amounts of mashed potatoes (leftovers or nuke some whole potatoes and scoop flesh out) and chopped up cooked spinach or silverbeet (not sure if it is known by that name in the US. It is like spinach but larger, darker green and wrinklier leaves)

Can also use frozen spinach.

Mix in bowl with some ricotta or cottage cheese and some LF sour cream. Sprinkle some black pepper to taste. Leave standing while you do the onions and spices.

Saute some shallots (or onions) in balsamic vinegar and a drop of lemon juice. Put some garlic paste to taste.

Sprinkle your favourite spices. I used oregano, cumin and paprika. Stir for a a couple of minutes to blend flavours.

Then put onion mix into the potato/spinach mix and blend well with a wooden spoon.

Spray some oil/Pam in the bottom of an oven proof container and spoon in the mix.

Cover with a thin layer of bread crumbs and/or LF grated cheese of choice.

I do not use any cheese at all and it turned out OK.

Bake at round 375 F for about 25 min. I have 2 ovens in my kitchen and the times for baking are different so check every 10 minutes or so and adjust accordingly.

Serve as a snack or with cold salad.

Hope you enjoy and await some of your ideas.
