Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 leeks, white part only, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt
3 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Pinch crushed red pepper
1/2 pound ham steak, cut into 1/2-inch dice
8 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano
2 cups mesclun mix or mixed greens
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

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!

Tips:

  • Selecting fresh and high-quality ingredients is key for a flavorful frittata. Look for firm and unblemished potatoes, bright green scallions, and succulent ham.
  • To achieve evenly cooked potatoes, slice them thinly and ensure they are well-coated in oil before frying. This helps them crisp up nicely without burning.
  • Use a large skillet or ovenproof pan for cooking the frittata. This allows for ample space for the eggs to spread and evenly cook.
  • Before pouring the egg mixture into the pan, make sure the skillet is hot but not smoking. This helps prevent the eggs from sticking and promotes even cooking.
  • To achieve a golden-brown and fluffy frittata, cook it over medium-low heat. This allows the eggs to cook gently and evenly without overcooking or burning.
  • Avoid overmixing the egg mixture, as this can result in a tough frittata. Gently whisk the eggs and milk just until combined.
  • Feel free to customize the frittata with your favorite ingredients. Some popular additions include crumbled bacon, diced bell peppers, or shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

The ham and potato frittata is a versatile and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, it's a perfect meal for busy weeknights or weekend brunches. Experiment with different fillings and toppings to create a frittata that suits your taste preferences.
