Ingredients

• 2 stalks leeks (white and light green parts only)
• 2 pieces medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or similar)
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cups whole milk or heavy cream
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean the leeks thoroughly by slicing them in half vertically and rinsing under cold water to remove any grit. Slice the leeks into thin half-moons.

Step 3

Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then layer the potato slices over the leeks in an even layer. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and cook on medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart.

Step 9

While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

Step 10

Once the potatoes are tender, add the spinach to the skillet, stirring gently to wilt it evenly.

Step 11

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, spreading it evenly in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the frittata cook until the edges are just starting to set, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 12

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 13

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
