Spinach and Goat Cheese Tart in a Potato Crust
- 5 Yukon gold potatoes (about 2 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch spinach, stems removed, leaves thinly sliced and rinsed but not dried
- 6 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Butter, for the pan
Peel potatoes and slice into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat.
When hot, add a layer of potatoes to the pan and cook, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and easily pierced with a knife.
Set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.
Repeat with remaining potatoes.
When potatoes are done, add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
Add garlic and cook until lightly golden and fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add spinach, with water still clinging to the leaves, and cook until bright green and tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer the spinach to a bowl and add goat cheese, ricotta, eggs, lemon zest and juice.
Stir to combine well. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
To assemble the tart, lightly butter a 9-inch springform pan.
Line the pan with potatoes, covering the bottom and sides completely, overlapping slices for complete coverage.
Pour in spinach-goat cheese mixture.
Bake until firm and golden, 50 to 60 minutes.
Release the spring from the pan and gently lift off the sides. Set the tart on a plate, slice and serve immediately.
