Spinach, Garlic and Rosemary Griddlecakes

From The Whole Foods Market Cookbook

With a mild background of spinach, the aromatic fresh rosemary shines in this recipe. Mashed potatoes impart a comforting texture to these griddlecakes and the sharp feta cheese adds a pleasing bite. You may make these cakes without the feta and Parmesan for a non-dairy version. Use an equivalent amount of natural egg substitute as the binding ingredient instead of eggs.

Makes 10 cakes

• 1 pound Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces



• 1/8 cup olive oil
• 1 medium onion, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
• 1 pound frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons sea salt, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 cup dried bread crumbs
• Marinara sauce

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes, until tender. Drain and mash lightly with a fork or potato masher.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick pan, and sauté the onion, garlic, and rosemary for 2 minutes, until the onion is softened. Add the spinach to the vegetables. Combine the sautéed vegetables, cooked potatoes, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs in a large bowl and mix well.

Using an 8-ounce scoop as a measure, form the mixture into 10 griddlecakes. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan. Sauté the griddlecakes until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Place the griddlecakes on a baking pan in the center of the oven for 10 minutes to cook through. Serve with marinara or your favorite sauce.
