Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. Add spinach and garlic: Stir in garlic and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
