Recipe Introduction
I made a version of this tonight. We were having ham, so I left that out. I didn�t have any spinach, so I used a can of Sylvia�s seasoned collards. This was very, very good. The greens were very fragrant and seasoned the potatoes in a wonderful way. If you have a mandoline slicer, this is a recipe to use it for! The potatoes need to be VERY thinly sliced!
