Yes these are the all-time-favourite baked potatoes which are spiced with the traditional baharat powder to let the recipe find place in this book. Spinach is not added in the original baked potatoes, but here it imparts a flavor liked by the lebanese thus it is included.

Borek is a combination of potatoes, cream, cheese, spinach and afcourse the baharat powder....it is very creamy and cheesy and taste yumm...the main tip is to serve this straight hot from the oven...
