I have fond memories of my father taking me to a local diner on Saturdays
for breakfast when I was young. I had a ravenous appetite and frequently
cleaned off the home fries from his plate as well as mine. To this day I
still love potatoes in the morning, but without the bacon drippings and
fat. The fresh spinach used here is a healthful alternative.

In a medium saucepan, place the potatoes in enough boiling water to cover
and cook for about 15 minutes, until tender. Drain in a colander and cool
slightly.

In a medium skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute for
about 5 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, spinach, scallions, seasonings, and
bottled hot sauce, if desired, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes over low heat,
stirring frequently. Serve hot with ketchup on the side.
