For the roasted potatoes:
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled, cut into 2,5 cm dice (ca. 400 g)
- 350 g potatoes, peeled, cut into 2,5 cm dice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
For the frittata filling:
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup cream (180 ml)
- 200 g gouda cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups hearty greens such as chard or kale, stemmed (leaves from 2 small bunches chard, or 200 g greens)
- 1 small leek, trimmed, rinsed well, and thinly sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
Mushroom topping (optional):
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 200 g chanterelles wiped free of dirt (or other mushrooms of choice)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F/ 230°C and line a baking sheet with patchment paper.
- Place the sweet potato and potato on the baking sheet, drizzle with 1,5 tablespoon oil and toss until coated. Spread out in an even layer, careful not to overcrowd and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the roasted potatoes from the over and reduce the heat 350°F / 175°C.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, then add the cream, gouda cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg and red chili flakes.
- In a large, oven-proof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the onion and leeks, season with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Then add the greens snd cook until soft, stirring often, about 3-4 minutes.
- Finally add roasted potatoes and the egg mixture, stir to combine, spread in an even layer and cook on the stovetop for one minute.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the egg is fully set.
- Serve the frittata at room temperature (or cold) cut into wedges.
Optional mushroom topping:
- In a second skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high to high heat. Add the chanterelles. And cook, stirring often, for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Top the frittata with the chanterelles, when serving.

Notes
- If in doubt, you can also test the doneness of the frittata by inserting a sharp knife in the center of it to check if it is fully set. The knife should come out clean.
- You can eat the frittata straight out of the oven, however, I find this dish tastes better served cold or at room temperature, which is part of the appeal since it can be made ahead of time.
