Ingredients (Serves 4-6)
3 medium potatoes, peeled
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
6 large eggs
1/2 cup (120ml) milk
1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes: Secure the cheese shredder hand crank to your countertop with its stable suction base. Use the 3-blade set and food pusher to safely slice the potatoes into thin, uniform rounds. The sharp stainless steel blades ensure even slices, perfect for the frittata. Set aside.
Cook the Leeks and Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the potato slices, season with salt, pepper, and thyme, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Assemble the Frittata: Pour the egg mixture over the leeks and potatoes in the skillet. Cook on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Bake the Frittata: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and golden.
Serve and Cleanup: Let the frittata cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm. Detach the Geedel’s blade and container, rinse under water, or place in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
Tips and Variations
Cheese Swap: Use Gruyère or Parmesan with additional grating for a richer flavor.
Veggie Add-In: Add sliced bell peppers with the 3-blade set for extra color.
Herb Boost: Substitute thyme with rosemary or dill for a different twist.
Serving Idea: Pair with a side salad or crusty bread.
