Fried Green Potatoes...Not Tomatoes!

The potatoes aren't green...the spinach is! This is my version of hash browns! I love the flavor of fried potatoes with bacon, onions and spinach! It's important to get a nice crust on the potatoes.
Fried Green Potatoes

INGREDIENTS;
2 large potatoes. I used Yukon Gold, shredded, rinsed well and squeezed dry.
Flour - just enough to dust potatoes
2-4 slices of bacon
1 small onion-minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
5 oz. fresh chopped spinach (frozen is also okay, just thaw and squeeze dry)
DIRECTIONS;

  • In a large non stick skillet over medium heat, cook bacon til crisp. Remove bacon, leaving drippings in skillet.
  • Saute onions in drippings til tender.
  • Add spinach and cook til wilted.
  • Crumble bacon and add back to skillet with shredded and flour dusted potatoes. If skillet is too dry add a little olive oil.
  • Add salt and pepper. Then mix everything together til well blended.
  • Spread mixture to cover bottom of skillet in a thin layer. Press slightly and let cook for 5 minutes on medium heat.
  • Cut this mixture into 4 equal pieces and flip each piece.
  • Cook another 5 minutes.
  • Then toss and break up sections to cook the inside of the mixture and brown really well, about another 2-3 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust salt if needed.
  • Serve warm.
