How to make it keto
Omit boiled potatoes entirely. Confirm the creamed spinach contains no added sugar and is primarily cream-based (not thickened with flour or starch).
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte keine Salzkartoffeln. Ist der Rahmspinat ohne Zucker und nicht mit Mehl oder Stärke angedickt?
No boiled potatoes, please. Is the creamed spinach sugar-free and not thickened with flour or starch?
Watch out for
Boiled potatoes are a standard accompaniment. Creamed spinach could potentially contain thickeners or added sugar, though less common than in red cabbage.
