2. While your potatoes are steaming, prep your spinach. Rinse it, remove the stems, and coarsely chop. Saute in a skillet over medium heat using the listed amount of water instead of oil until the spinach is wilted and all of the water is cooked off.

3. Allow your potatoes some time to cool so you can handle them. If you're impatient like me, putting them in ice water speeds up the process.

7. Form your potato mixture into 12 pancakes. Each pancake will be about 1/4 cup of your mixture. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a pan or a griddle, add your cakes in a single layer and cook, flipping midway, until they are browned on both sides. My pan only held 6 potato cakes at a time, so I evenly divided the olive oil so I could add some to each batch. Once your potato cakes are browned, you're ready to serve.
