1. Melt a knob of butter in a medium, nonstick frying pan, then cook the leek for about 5 mins until softened. Meanwhile, cut the potatoes in half, then into slices about ½cm thick. Beat the eggs, season, then stir in the cheese and sage.
2. Add a little extra butter to the pan if needed, tip in the potatoes, then the egg mixture. Turn the heat to low, then cook for 10 mins until nearly set. Place under a hot grill, then cook for a couple of mins more until the top is set and golden. Slice into wedges and serve with a green salad.

  I made this but thought it a little unexciting. I would suggest using a stronger cheese next time such as Gruyere for a fuller flavour and perhaps more seasoning. The addition of chopped chives should also enhance the flavour.

  10 mins to cook the potatoes? seems unrealistic for me?

  I made this today for lunches in the week for son and OH, came out great and smelt lovely. Will be good for summer picnics. I made it in my tarte tatin dish as I didn't have a frying pan the right size.

  I found this a bit unexciting and lacking in flavour as a meal on its own but its easy to spice it up with other ingredients. I tend to just add whatever I fancy from the fridge and add plenty of seasoning and bake in the oven which could be cut up and served as a tapas dish at barbecues

  Leeks didn't really come through much but otherwise great - good cold too. Could add all sorts; bacon, sausage, peas...

  Lovely receipe. Onions add some taste to it. Mixing the potatoes with the egg, before pouring them into the pan makes it easier to stir them. Beware that you must boil and cool the potatoes before starting to cook. So it takes longer then actually stated. very nice though. Sir Alan would love it!

  Very tasty and easy to make for a midweek meal. I would recommend adding some ham or chorizo in too. Also, very nice cold with mayonnaise the next day.

  i followed the recipe all the way through till the grilling phase. tarte tatin-style, i turned the tortilla over and grilled the leeky side. if you manage not to burn the torilla you will certainly appreciate the way it looks.

  I adapted the recipe slightly, used onion instead of leek, added an extra potato & used 4 large eggs instead of 6. I also felt it needed plenty of seasoning to prevent it being bland. It was a very nice supper dish warm with salad & the remainder made a nice lunch served cold the next day!

  My veggie friends loved this - and it was great for using up a left over Jersey Royal potato salad. In fact it's a perfect lazy weekend supper using back-of-the-fridge ingredients ... as long as you've got sage growing in the garden!

  Because my family can't eat a dinner that doesn't include meat, I included some bacon in this - and reduced the amount of potato. It received the thumbs up from all - but it isn't something I would do on a regular basis. Nice for a change!

  Loved this - best tortilla recipe I've tried. Added some red pepper, and it all disappeared (and no mention from anyone about the lack of meat!)

  This was very easy to make & tasted good. We ate this cold as part of a family picnic. I didn't grill the top side, I turned the tortilla over to cook the underside. Will definitely make again.
