This typical Slovak dish would have been a regular weeknight meal in many houses. It doesn’t require many ingredients and it easy to cook in a van. We have seen this also topped with a fried egg. So you could try that instead of hard boiled eggs should you wish. If you try this typical slovak dish, be sure to rate it below.
Typical Slovak dish
The recipe is for typical Slovak dish Spinach with potatoes and eggs. This is a vegetarian version, but by adding sausage fried on the pan you can make it more meat-eater friendly.
Stove top meal
Ingredients
- 1 bag Fresh Spinach
- 1 Onion
- 3 Potatoes
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes, wash them and quarter into equal size.
- Put potatoes into a pot and pour cold water.
- Add 1 tablespoon of salt and cover.
- Boil the potatoes over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain well. And leave on the side.
- Hard boil the eggs. After the eggs cool down, just peel them and slice. Whilst eggs are getting ready, you can start preparing the spinach and onion (if using)
- If you decided to add onion, firstly chop it small and fry it on frying pan on oil until glossy
- Add spinach (either fresh or frozen) to onion / if not using onion, just heat the oil and add spinach.
- Simmer together until spinach is defrosted / or leaves of fresh spinach are soft.
- Add garlic, pepper and salt and nutmeg, simmer until cooked. If needed, add some water. At the end when spinach is cooked, mix it with hand mixer if you want, until soft and creamy, some more water may be needed.
- Serve with or without fried sausage on a plate or in a bowl.

My mom used to make this, however she omitted the potatoes. We made it with either sour cream or heavy cream with a bit of chicken/veggie stock. Sometimes I add a bit of feta cheese to it. I realize this is not vegetarian this way, just another alternative, made by my mom who grew up in what was then Czechoslovakia.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Janet. The feta sounds like a great addition. Sounds similar to Italian recipes where they vary from family to family
