Ingredients

  • 1 medium brown onion
  • 2 small potatoes
  • 1/2 Tbsp oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 4 Tbsp flour
  • 2 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2-1 tsp salt
  • pinch of white pepper
  • 1/2 lb crab meat
  • cheese
  • parsley (chopped)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Slice onion thinly. Cut potatoes into 1/4" thick match sticks.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan at medium heat, and cook potatoes for a few minutes. Add onion and a little bit of salt and pepper. Cook further until the onion softens. Add spinach and mix. Set aside.
  • In a different pot, melt butter at medium heat, add flour, and cook for a couple of minutes until the sauce bubbles. Add milk and whisk well so there are no lumps. When the sauce thickens, season with 1/2-1 tsp salt and pinch of pepper. Then add crab meat and stir.
  • Set 1/3 of the sauce aside. Add vegetables to the rest of the sauce and mix. Put the mixture in a baking dish, and pour the remaining 1/3 of the sauce on top. Cover with cheese, and bake in the oven on the upper rack for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve garnished with chopped parsley.
