Spinach, first washing it well, cleaning it of some impurities, and removing the stalks. Then pouring water into the pot and steaming, that is, put a metal container with holes, it is mostly an addition to all pots in the set that comes with the purchase.
Put the spinach and steam it for 10–15 minutes, on moderate heat. As soon as it softens, then turn off heat and put it aside for cooling.
Peel the potatoes, wash them under running water, cut them into small cubes and cook for 20 minutes in salted water.

NOTE:

In this case, I made it with grilled squid and it works great! You can add a little ground pepper, if you like, I added a little apple cider vinegar and olive oil.
Spinach, collard greens and nettles can be a great substitute for Swiss chard!
