- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

- 1/2 cup cucumber, grated and squeezed dry

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a springform pan with olive oil.
- Toss the shredded potatoes with olive oil, half the salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, mix spinach, garlic, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, and dill until creamy and combined.
- Press the potato mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- Pre bake the potato crust for 20 minutes until lightly golden.
- Spread the spinach and cheese filling evenly into the crust.
- Bake for another 30 minutes until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown.
- In a small bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, cucumber, and the remaining salt to make the tzatziki.
- Top the baked tart with arugula, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and dollops of tzatziki before serving.

Notes
- Squeeze excess moisture from the cucumber to keep the tzatziki thick and creamy.
- Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing for cleaner pieces.
- Freshly grated potatoes create the crispiest crust texture.
- The tart can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
