Ingredients

  • 3 Tbs. unsalted butter
  • 6 oz. small red potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 leeks, white and light green portions, rinsed well and thinly sliced
  • 5 eggs
  • 3 Tbs. heavy cream
  • 2 oz. Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • 1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  • In the deep half of an 8-inch frittata pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter. Add the potatoes, salt and pepper, cover with the shallow pan and cook, flipping the potatoes occasionally, until tender and browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • In the deep half of a frittata pan over medium heat, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter. Add the leeks, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a separate bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Stir in the cheese, parsley, potatoes, salt, pepper and all but 2 Tbs. of the leeks.
  • In the deep half of the frittata pan over medium heat, melt 1/2 Tbs. of the butter. Add the egg mixture and cook until the eggs are just beginning to set, about 4 minutes, using a rubber spatula to gently lift the cooked edges and allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
  • Meanwhile, in the shallow half of the frittata pan over medium heat, melt the remaining 1/2 Tbs. butter. Place the shallow pan upside down on top of the deep pan and flip the frittata into the shallow pan. Cook, covered, for 4 minutes. Remove the deep pan and cook until the eggs are completely set, 2 to 3 minutes more. Gently shake the pan to loosen the frittata and slide it onto a serving plate. Garnish with the reserved leeks. Serves 4 to 6.
