    Instant Pot Chard and Sweet Potato Frittata

    This Instant Pot Chard and Sweet Potato Frittata happened thanks to one of those days when I had ingredients to use up and didn't know quite what to do with them.

    Frittata is a great way to use up ingredients.

    Think of it as: as long as you have 6 eggs and a potato, you can make a frittata happen!

    Just add whatever you have that needs using up that you think you'll enjoy and use the timings below.

    Don't have sweet potato? Use a normal potato.

    I actually have an Instant Pot Chorizo Frittata recipe here too.

    Don't forget anything goes.

    Have you joined my Pressure Cooking group over on Facebook?

    Tap or click on the photo below to take you there.

    What peeler do I use to get the potato super thin?

    I have a potato peeler I love!

    In fact, I love it so much I've gone through many of them.

    Well, it seems to either disappear, end up in the green bin or have encounters with spoons.... who remembers the spoon-peeler incident of 2013?

    The spoon-peeler incident of 2013, I still don't know how it happened but there was no way of untangling them

    If you remember the above photo? Yes, it is from 2013. Crazy, eh?

    This OXO Good Grips Y Peeler below is the peeler I use over and over again and, every time it has an affair with a spoon, gets lost or goes in the green bin, I buy the same one again.

    This is my affiliate link below (if you buy through this link I'll get a tiny kickback but you won't pay a penny extra and you'll get an awesome peeler).

    What's that fancy Instant Pot in the photos?

    That's the new Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus that has just arrived in Europe.

    Huge screen with progress indicators, tons of new presets, dial, steam release switch, self-sealing lid, steam diffuser... the list of features is long.

    But, my favourite feature?

    The inner pot has handles!!

    This is my affiliate link below (if you buy through this link I'll get a small kickback but you won't pay a penny extra).

    What cake pan do I use?

    I use the cake pan (broiler) from the Instant Pot Steamer Set that Instant Pot UK sells on amazon.

    It's a very handy set, the long-handled trivet is very useful too.

    This is the set (and that is my affiliate link).

    Snazzy printable recipe card further down

    Ingredients

    6 large eggs

    Half a teaspoon of paprika

    A large handful of chopped rainbow chard, or whatever chard you have

    50 g of sweet potatoes very thinly sliced, use a peeler rather than a knife, to get them as thin as possible 

    40g cheddar, grated

    A slice of Instant Pot Chard and Sweet Potato Frittata with the Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus in the background

    Method

    1.

    Beat the 6 eggs with the sea salt and paprika. Stir in the chard until well mixed. Stir in the sweet potatoes and half of the cheese. 

    2.

    Pour into the Instant Pot cake pan, grease it first by brushing a bit of extra virgin olive oil all over the inside.

    3.

    250 ml cold water in the inner pot. Trivet in place. Cake pan on trivet (read the notes to see what I use).

    4.

    Lid on. Steam release pointing to sealing if you don’t have a self-sealing lid (and if you don’t, check out the Instant Pots with self-sealing lids, so handy!). 

    5.

    Programme 20 minutes by pressing Manual / Pressure Cook and using the - and + buttons (or the dial if you have the Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus).

    6.

    I did a natural pressure release as I was busy but it would have been okay to do a pressure release after about 5 minutes on Keep Warm. You can transfer it to the grill or air fryer with a bit of extra cheese (or not) to brown the top but it's not strictly necessary.

    Equipment

    • Instant Pot

    Ingredients
      

    • 6 large eggs
    • Half a teaspoon of paprika
    • A large handful of chopped rainbow chard or whatever chard you've got
    • 50 g of sweet potatoes very thinly sliced use a peeler rather than a knife, to get them as thin as possible, if you don't want to do that, increase the cooking time to about 25 minutes

    • Beat the 6 eggs with the sea salt and paprika. Stir in the chard until well mixed. Stir in the sweet potatoes and half of the cheese.

    Notes

    Only got normal potatoes? It will work too but you could always try my Instant Pot Chorizo Frittata.
    *Terminology
    Quick pressure release (QPR, also called quick release or QR) means venting the steam as soon as the pressure cooking process finishes, i.e. moving the steam release handle from Sealing to Venting.
    Natural pressure release (NPR, also called natural release or NR) means letting the float valve pop back down of its own accord, so basically you don’t need to do anything at the end and can keep your feet up. If it takes over 15 minutes, you're ok to release the rest of the steam (by turning the steam release handle to Venting) that may be left in order to unlock and open the lid. 
    Sometimes you'll see me talk of a combination of NPR followed by a QPR. For example a recipe may have a 4 minute NPR followed by a QPR. You wait for 4 minutes at the end of the pressure cooking time and then do a QPR by moving the steam release handle from Sealing to Venting.

      Absolutely delicious! After trying out Maria’s Chorizo & potato frittata, I simply had to give this one a go! I’ve sneakily added a half of a Chorizo sausage to this recipe as well + a half spoon of smoked paprika (only because we like strong flavours). Needless to say, this is a real keeper! Yummy!!!
