Leek and onion potato torte

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Yukon gold or russet
Potatoes -- cooked and
Mashed
1 large Egg -- beaten
½ cup Ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon Whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon Butter (or canola oil)
3 cups Thinly sliced leeks (about 2
Large) -- white parts only
2 cups Thinly sliced onions (about
3 Medium)
pinch Salt
1 cup Skim milk
1 Egg yolk
1 Whole egg
1 tablespoon Unbleached white flour
½ cup Nonfat sour cream
2 tablespoons Minced fresh chives

Directions

Preheat oven to 450F.

With hands, combine mashed potatoes, beaten egg, ricotta cheese, and whole wheat flour; mix until a dough forms. Press dough into an 8-inch springform pan. Bake until firm but springy, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add butter or oil, leeks, onions and salt. Saute until leeks and onions are very soft, about 15 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, beat together milk, egg yolk, egg, and unbleached flour until there are no lumps; set aside.

[Mix sour cream and chives; do next step as one.] Spread sour cream over baked potato crust; sprinkle chives evenly over sour cream. Arrange leek mixture over sour cream. Pour in egg mixture. Bake until set, about 50 minutes. (If the top starts to brown before egg mixture has set, cover loosely with foil.)

Makes 4- 6 servings.

Note: This is definitely not a week-night dinner. However, it's easy to make while you're doing other things. Nothing ever requires urgent attention.
