Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ cups thinly sliced leeks
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
7 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat oil in an 8-inch oven-safe skillet. Add leeks; cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in pepper, cumin, turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in baking powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Fold in leek mixture, parsley, cilantro, dill, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Add butter to the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven. Heat until melted, about 3 minutes.
Remove skillet and swirl so butter evenly coats it. Add egg mixture. (Do not stir.)
Return to the oven and bake until edges are set and middle is still slightly moist, 15 to 18 minutes.
Let cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before cutting into 8 slices.

Tips:

To ensure the potatoes are cooked evenly, prick them with a fork before baking.
For crispier skins, rub the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter before baking.
To prevent the potato skins from becoming tough, do not overcook them. The potatoes are done when they are tender when pierced with a fork.
To make the filling, start by sautéing the leeks in butter until they are softened. Then, add the herbs, salt, and pepper and cook for a few more minutes.
To stuff the potatoes, make a slit in the top of each potato and spoon in the filling. Then, top with cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the potatoes immediately, garnished with fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Leek and herb stuffed jackets are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a satisfying and flavorful meal that the whole family will enjoy.
