2. In a large skillet, sauté onion in olive oil until soft. Add garlic, ginger, and spices; cook for 1 minute.
3. Add spinach and sauté until wilted (or warmed through, if using frozen).
4. Stir in potatoes, season with salt, and cook for 2–3 more minutes, mashing a few potatoes into the spinach for a creamy texture. Add a little bit of water if needed to make it more saucy.
5. Finish with lemon juice for brightness.
