1. 1

   Boil the peeled potatoes in salted water until cooked but not falling apart. Drain and mash them.

   💡 Профессиональные советы: Using waxy potatoes prevents them from becoming too mushy when mashed.
2. 2

   While potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

   💡 Профессиональные советы: Keep the heat low to prevent the garlic from browning and becoming bitter.
3. 3

   Add the shredded spinach to the pan and cook until wilted. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the spinach.

   💡 Профессиональные советы: Adding spinach in batches can help manage the volume.
4. 4

   In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooked spinach mixture, cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form the filling.

   💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure the filling is well-seasoned before assembling the strudel.
5. 5

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   💡 Профессиональные советы: Preheating the oven ensures the pastry bakes evenly.
6. 6

   Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle. Place the spinach and potato filling along one long side of the pastry, leaving a small border.

   💡 Профессиональные советы: Rolling the pastry slightly thinner at the edges can help create a crispier crust.
7. 7

   Fold the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges by pressing them down. Trim any excess pastry.

   💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure the seam is well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out.
8. 8

   Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, brush the top with beaten egg for a golden glaze and cut a few slits for steam to escape.

   💡 Профессиональные советы: Slits allow steam to escape, preventing the pastry from becoming soggy.
9. 9

   Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

   💡 Профессиональные советы: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.
10. 10

    Let the strudel rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

    💡 Профессиональные советы: Allowing it to rest helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
