Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium Yukon Gold potato, peeled and sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup water
12 large eggs
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 log (4 ounces) crumbled fresh goat cheese, divided
1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)

Directions

Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker; adjust for high heat. Then heat oil. Add potato and onion; cook and stir until potato is lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Stir in paprika. Transfer potato mixture to a greased 1-1/2-qt. souffle or round baking dish. Wipe pressure cooker clean. Pour in water.
In a large bowl, whisk next five ingredients; stir in 2 ounces cheese. Pour over potato mixture. Top with tomatoes and remaining goat cheese. Cover baking dish with foil; place on a trivet with handles. Lower into pressure cooker. Lock lid; make sure vent is closed.
Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 35 minutes. When finished cooking, allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure according to manufacturer's directions.

Test Kitchen tips

We tested this recipe with tomatoes that are ready to use without soaking. When using whole sun-dried tomatoes that are not oil-packed, cover with boiling water and let stand until soft. Drain before chopping.

Smoked paprika adds a rich flavor to this dish. You can also use it in recipes that call for ground chipotle pepper.

No feta? Cream cheese or mascarpone mixed with yogurt, for tanginess, will work.
