There are lots of Potato Tart recipes out there…this is a Rachel Ray variation – I found it in a local newspaper and I love it.
Potato Tart with Thyme and Manchego
Olive oil cooking spray
1 lb baking potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (the thinner, the better)
1/2 medium yellow onion, very thinly sliced
salt & pepper
1 tsp. dried thyme
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
3 cups grated Manchego Cheese (Italian cheese not unlike Parmesan)
Diced green or red hot peppers like pickled Jalapenos (I used roasted red peppers )
Preheat oven to 425. spray glass pie plate with olive oil. ( I made a big batch for Easter family dinner using large pyrex) Arrange single layer of potates over bottom of pie plate, edges slightly overlapping. Spray potatoes with olive oil. Place half of onion slices over potatoes, season with salt, pepper and 1/2 of thyme.
Top onions with 1 cup of spinach, spreading evenly. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over spinach. Then second layer of potatoes over cheese, press down gently. Spray potatoes with oil. Repeat layering by topping the potatoes with remaining onions, seasonings, spinach, 1 cup of cheese and final layer of potatoes. Spray with oil, then top with remaining cheese and sliced peppers.
Bake 40 minutes or until edges are golden brown and potatoes are cooked through. Yum!
i haven't even had morning coffee yet, and my mouth is watering for some of that! It looks divine. I wonder if Manchego is hard to find in a regular grocery store? Its worth taking a look at I suppose! Very yummy looking!
This is definitely going on my table in the near future. Yummy!
Sounds heavenly! Yummmm….I love potatoes!
Sounds delicious. I confess I've never even heard of that cheese before (blush)
OH MY! You had me at cheese~ xxoo Diana
Goodness – that looks SO delish! 🙂
Two of my favorite words…potato and tart…but not usually together! I will definitely be saving this one to try….after I use up all the Easter leftovers:)
This looks delicious and I have a whole bag of potatoes left from Easter. I'll have to give it a try! Thanks, Karen!

This sounds and looks fantastic. Great recipe and photos, Karen.
Dang, girl, if you knew how hungry I was, you wouldn't be tempting me like this. Oh, who am I kidding… sure you would!
I am a potato girl through and through. Rachel Rays recipes are usually very good. This one looks exceptional.
That seriooks awesome, monchego is amazing on anything.
My favorite potato dish recently has been Patatas Bravas….awesome. Try it some time.
We speak the same language….it's called DELISH!
Yummo! Being of Irish descent I naturally love potatoes! I'll have to try this it looks really good! For Easter I made potato gratin and the fam loved it!
I wouldn't have thought of putting spinach in a potato casserole, but this looks really good! I've never heard of Manchego cheese either, but guess I'll be looking for it at Fresh Market.
