Saucy Potatoes

elmsyrup's Note:

Potatoes with a rich, flavoursome tomato-based sauce. Lots of nutrients and very tasty. This is my own recipe. The quantity below is enough to serve 2 as a main meal, or 4 as an accompaniment to steak, fish, a flat mushroom topped with cheese, or whatever you like.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 400 g chopped tomatoes
• 10 small new potatoes or 10 small baby potatoes
• 2 medium onions
• 250 g fresh spinach or 150 g frozen spinach
• 2 garlic cloves (minced) or 2 teaspoons garlic puree

Directions:

1. Wash the potatoes and put them into a saucepan with boiling water. Boil them until tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile peel and finely chop the onions, and sautée them in a little oil on a medium heat until soft. This should take about 10 minutes.
3. Once the onions are soft add the chopped tomatoes and garlic to the pan, and the frozen spinach if using. Simmer these together, stirring frequently, until the spinach is thawed and heated through, and the sauce has thickened.
4. Once the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened, if you are using fresh spinach you should add it to the sauce now and quickly stir it in to wilt it.
5. Drain the potatoes and add them to the sauce, stirring to coat them evenly. Now serve.
