Cut the potatoes into 3/4-inch pieces (2 cm), then add the potatoes into a stockpot, all in a flat layer, and fill with water, just enough to cover the potatoes, then season generously with salt, add in the bay leaves, and heat with a high heat
In the meantime, heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
While the oil is heating, roughly chop the spinach
Add the spinach into the hot fry pan (in batches) and mix together so it easily wilts
Once all the spinach has been added and it's lightly wilted, turn off the heat, then season with salt & pepper and mix together, and then transfer the spinach into a fine sieve with a bowl underneath
About 15 minutes after turning on the heat on the potatoes, they should be cooked al dente, you can always pierce them with a toothpick, and if it goes in but with some resistance, they are ready, drain the potatoes into a colander
Heat the same fry pan with a medium heat and add in 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
After a couple of minutes, add in the sliced garlic, and mix continuously
Once the garlic is lightly sautéed, about 1 minute, add in the boiled potatoes and mix together, fry for 5 to 7 minutes or until the potatoes are lightly golden fried, then add in the spinach, paprika, cumin, and season with salt & pepper, and mix together until well mixed
Serve warm, at room temperature, or even chilled, enjoy!
