"Spinach with fried egg and potatoes is a classic dish from my childhood. We ate it at home, in kindergarten, and at school. Most of the times it was slightly overcooked spinach and dry egg, but of course, the classic version can be made fresh and delicious. To make an ungraded, fancier version, I took the whole dish apart and put it back together to create a creamy, comforting dish. If you prefer, you can pick and choose from the components in the recipe and use them to add a twist to your favourite recipes. The potato foam, for example, is a simple way to enhance your dishes and make them a little more fancy."
