How to Prepare Russet Potatoes With Creamy Spinach and Ramp Sauce [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
In order to cut the potatoes equally, put each potato, in turn, in the bowl of a large wooden spoon and cut across thinly. Alternatively, you can place the potato lengthwise between two parallel wooden spoon handles and cut: the knife will hit the wooden handles and won't cut the potato all the way through.
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and vegan butter and add the crushed garlic cloves and braise for a couple of minutes, just so that all the flavor incorporates in the fat.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and spoon the fat over them, then sprinkle with Himalayan salt and ground black pepper. Put in the oven and cook for about 1 hour.
Test to see whether the flesh is soft, then remove from the oven.
While the potatoes are baking, make the sauce. In a large saucepan, without oil, add the spinach and braise just until the leaves soften. Remove from stovetop, add the leaves to a processor together with the ramps, vegan sour cream, salt, and pepper and mix well until you have a creamy sauce. Pour over potatoes and serve warm.
