Potato Leek Frittata Recipes

POTATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold salted water. Make sure all the potatoes are well submerged by at least 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes or until a sharp knife can easily pierce through them.When they are ready, drain and dice evenly.
• While the potatoes are simmering chop the parsley and leeks (thinly sliced). Also, combine the ingredients for the egg mixture (eggs, parsley, salt and pepper). Whisk until well blended. Stir in the grated provolone or mozzarella. Do not overbeat.
• Over medium heat, heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick oven-proof pan. You can also use a cast iron pan.
• Add the sliced leek and saute for 5 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
• Add the diced potatoes; stir gently with the leeks to combine properly together. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread evenly in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Pour the egg mixture over the leeks and potatoes in the pan and stir gently to combine.
• As the mixture begins to set and the bottom firms up, use a spatula or wooden spoon to lift the edge closest to you and allow the uncooked egg mixture to run underneath. Tilt the pan as you do this.
• Continue in this fashion until the top is no longer runny and the egg mixture is almost set. It should begin to pull away from the sides.
• Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated cheese evenly over the top.
• Place the pan in the preheated oven.
• Bake for about 2-4 minutes until the center is set, dry to the touch and lightly browned.
• Let stand a few minutes then run a spatula around the edge and slide gently to a serving plate.
• Optional: Garnish with extra parsley, basil or sliced green onions.
• Slice into wedges and serve it hot, at room temperature or cold.

POTATO LEEK FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Prep the leeks by slicing the white and light green parts into ⅛ of an inch disks, and then washing them in a bowl of water. They are typically quite sandy so do this until the water is clear and then dry them in a towel.
• Prep the potato by slicing it thinly into ⅛ of an inch disks.
• In an pan on medium heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil, begin sautéing potato slices. We want them to begin to look translucent and get about ⅔rds of the way cooked.This should take around 7 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the pan and line a pie plate with about ⅔ of the potatoes. Set the extra potatoes aside.
• In the same pan you cooked the potatoes, sauté the leeks for 2 minutes and then add them on top of the pie pan. Add in any leftover potato slices at this point.
• Whisk together eggs, garlic powder, and salt and pour the mixture on top of the vegetables.
• Bake the frittata for 20 minutes and top with cracked pepper and red pepper flakes.

MINI POTATO LEEK FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 12 muffin cups.
• Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch chunks. In a medium saucepan, place potatoes, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and enough water to cover; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes to partially cook potatoes (a fork should be able to go through them). Drain potatoes in a colander and set aside to cool.
• Cut leeks lengthwise in half and clean thoroughly under cold running water. Pat dry, then slice crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat; add leeks and cook until fragrant and wilted, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool.
• Into a large bowl, carefully crack eggs. Add egg whites, milk, pepper, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and whisk until mixed. Add cooled leeks, potatoes, cheese, and herbs and fold ingredients together until combined.
• Ladle the frittata mixture evenly into prepared muffin cups (filling will come almost to the top). Set the pan in the middle of the oven. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until egg mixture puffs up and knife inserted in frittatas comes out clean. Cool for 1 minute then loosen edges of frittata with a sharp knife and scoop them out of the pan one by one. (They will deflate somewhat after cooling.)
• Serve the frittatas warm or at room temperature.

LEEK, POTATO AND HAM FRITTATA WITH PARMIGIANO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coat a 12-inch nonstick saute pan with 3/4 cup oil, add the leeks to the pan, season with salt and bring to a medium heat. Cook until the leeks are starting to soften and are very aromatic, 5 to 6 minutes. Toss in the potatoes, season with a little more salt and the crushed red pepper, about 3 minutes. Add the ham and the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Cook, stirring occasionally to be sure the potatoes do not stick to the bottom of the pan, until the potatoes start to soften, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs with about 2 tablespoons water to a smooth consistency in a bowl, then add a heavy pinch of salt and half the grated cheese and beat together until the eggs and cheese are a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
• Using a colander or mesh strainer, carefully strain out the excess olive oil from the potato-leek mixture and reserve. Return the potato-leek mixture to the pan and stir in the eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs start to cook around the outside edges of the pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the eggs are cooked through, about 18 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven. Place a snug fitting lid or a baking sheet on the pan, then hold the handle of the lid, swing the pan and flip the frittata onto the pan lid. Commit to it! It's fun! Slide the frittata onto a plate. You can serve this hot or at room temperature.
• Toss the mixed greens with the red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the reserved potato-leek oil and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Serve with slices of the frittata.
• You gotta break some eggs to make frittata!
