    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.

    Equipment

    • 1 Instant Pot or pressure cooker
    • 1 cake pan to fit inside your pressure cooker with a 2 cm clearance all around it, ie it must be 2 cm smaller in diameter than the diameter of your pressure cooker

    Ingredients
      

    • 6 large eggs
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • 1 large handful chopped rainbow chard or whatever chard you've got
    • 50 g 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
    • 40 g cheddar grated, I tend to use mature cheddar

    Instructions
     

    • 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 (use only half if you're going to brown it after, otherwise use all the cheese).
    • Pour into the Instant Pot cake pan, grease the pan first by brushing a bit of extra virgin olive oil all over the inside.
    • 250 ml cold water in the inner pot. Trivet in place. Cake pan on trivet.
    • 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!).
    • Pressure cook 20 minutes, high pressure.
    • 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 quickly transfer it to the grill or air fryer (205ºC or maximum temperature for 4 minutes should do it) with the rest of the cheese to brown the top if you want

    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.

    Ingredients

    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 and a Instant Pot Duo Crisp Crustless Quiche.

    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?

    Feisty Tapas Spoon peeler incident of 2013.jpg
    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 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 (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 Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus, I don't think it's sold in Europe anymore but the Pro Plus is the new version really.

    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!!

    What cake pan do I use?

    In the photos I use the cake pan (broiler) from the Instant Pot Steamer Set that Instant Pot UK used to sell on amazon.

    But you can use any cake tin (doesn't have to be silicone) that fits with a 2 cm gap all around it and the inner pot. Bearing in mind the inner pot tends to taper towards the bottom.

    So, as a rule of thumb:

    For 8 litre / 8 quart Instant Pot: 20 cm / 8 inch maximum diameter

    For 5.7 litre / 6 quart Instant Pot: 18 cm / 7 inch maximum diameter

    For 3 litre / 3 quart Instant Pot: 16 cm / 6 inch maximum diameter

      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!!!
