Remarks
The proportions are only indicative, so feel free to adapt them to your taste and what you have on hand.
Note that everything in this parmentier is already cooked, so there's no need to cook it too long. As soon as the top is golden brown and the center is hot, you can remove the lid.
For a more gourmet version, increase the weight of the béchamel a little, and mix the chopped hard-boiled eggs with the spinach.
