Instructions
Heat oven to 400°F.
Add 1 tablespoon oil to a 10 inch cast iron skillet or other skillet with an oven-proof handle. Add potatoes and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until lightly browned and crisp. Lower heat, cover skillet with a lid and continue cooking for another 5 - 10 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, Raclette cheese and tarragon. Whisk to combine.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook until softened, 3 - 4 minutes. Add asparagus and cook for an additional 5 - 6 minutes, stirring so the spears cook evenly.
Return the potatoes to the pan, stir to combine. Cover the bottom of the skillet evenly with the vegetable mixture, then pour the egg mixture over all.
Let it cook without stirring until the edges are set. Watch carefully to prevent it browning too much on the bottom. Transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking. The frittata will be done when the center is set and the top has puffed up, about 10 - 12 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with Emmenthal or Swiss cheese, and return to oven for 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove from oven, slice into wedges and serve.
