What a refreshing change from regular kugel. I made a half batch using 10 oz of frozen spinach, 2 medium potatoes (unpeeled) 2 eggs and 2 tiny onions. Everything else was pretty close to half the original. I skipped the potatoes in water step, but did put the onions through the food processor before the potatoes, and sprinkled a tsp of lemon juice over the top. This did a pretty good job at keeping the potatoes from turning grey before they got into the oven. I would say that a half recipe which filled a deep dish pie plate to the brim, would easily serve 6 if you made this as a side dish and not your entree. I would highly recommend freshly grated parmesan and cooking it uncovered for the last 30 minutes. I loved the crunchy top!
