How to Make Leek Potato Gruyere Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches) over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
  3. Add 1 pound of diced potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Transfer potatoes to a bowl and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  7. Add 2 cups of thinly sliced leeks (white and light green parts only), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  8. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are softened, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside 2 tablespoons of cooked leeks for garnish.
  9. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Stir in 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, the cooked potatoes, and the remaining cooked leeks.
  11. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared skillet.
  12. Cook on the stovetop over medium heat until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  13. Gently push the cooked edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  14. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 4-6 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  15. Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with the reserved leeks.
