Warm Potato Salad With Wilted Spinach

Submitted by Aunt Cookie

"I got this recipe from "The Good Egg" by Marie Simmons. She also offers a version with bacon, but I think this is really good without it. I'd guess this doesn't keep too well...I couldn't say for sure, though, because we finished it off pretty fast."

We made this tonight and would add some turkey bacon the next time but otherwise it was very good. Be sure and get the dressing very hot like the recipe says otherwise the spinach will not wilt.

This was really tasty! I made it just as written, except I only used 4 eggs and it seemed like plenty. I briefly contemplated adding some type of sweetener to the very tart dressing, but I went with it as is and it was just right. I think I might try it with bacon some time. Thanks!
