Potato and Leek Tart – A recipe for a delicious tart with a potato crust and a filling of leeks, bacon, and eggs. This savory tart is super easy to make and tastes wonderful. The tart is made with boiled potatoes, which are mashed into a springform pan to create the tart crust. The potato crust is pre-baked before being filled with sliced leeks, fried bacon cubes, and onions, then topped with an egg mixture made with crème fraîche and grated cheese. The tart is garnished with chives when it comes out of the oven. It’s important to grease the pan with butter so that the tart releases easily from the form.
This potato tart is perfect to serve for both lunch and dinner. It can be served with a green salad on the side. The tart can be enjoyed warm or cold and is perfect for freezing. You can add various ingredients to the egg mixture if you have leftover vegetables or meat from dinner. Try my recipe for potato muffins with spinach and feta. Enjoy!
Potato and leek tart
Ingredients
Instructions
200°C Fan Oven.
Boil the potatoes until tender in salted water.
Brush a 23 cm diameter springform pan with melted butter. Place the boiled potatoes in the pan and press them firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Bake for 15 minutes.
Rinse and slice the leeks into thin rings. Pour boiling water over the leeks and let them sit for 3 minutes to blanch. Drain the water and pat the leeks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Fry the bacon cubes in a pan. Just before the bacon turns completely crispy, add the onions. Transfer everything onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess fat.
Whisk together eggs, crème fraîche, grated cheese, salt, and pepper.
Distribute the leeks and bacon/onion mixture over the potato crust and pour the egg mixture on top. Bake the tart for about 20 minutes.
Garnish with chives. Carefully remove the springform and serve the tart. Enjoy!
