15 Minute Spanish Potato Omelette Recipes

15 MINUTE SPANISH POTATO OMELETTE

Steps:

• Crack 6 large organic eggs into a large bowl, season them with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, beat together until well combined, grab a 6 oz / 150 g bag of regular potato chips and crush them, then add the chips into the bowl with the eggs and mix together, let it sit for 4-5 minutes to let the potato chips soften up
• Meanwhile crack 2 large organic eggs in a seperate bowl, season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper and beat together, after leaving the egg and potato chip mixture for 4-5 minutes, add the 2 beaten eggs and mix together
• Heat a nonstick frying pan with a low heat (you might need to use a low-medium heat, depending on the size of your burner) and add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, after 2 minutes add the potato and egg mixture into the pan, using a spoon make sure everything is evenly distributed, shake the pan once in a while to make sure your omelette is not sticking to the pan
• After cooking for 4-5 minutes it´s time to flip the omelette to cook the other side, grab another nonstick frying pan that is bigger than the one cooking the omelette, place it on top and flip the pans, this is an easy way to flip the omelette without any of the egg mixture going all over the place, compact the omelette with a spatula through the outer edges, this will give it that classic rounded edge, cook for another 4-5 minutes, after cooking for a total of about 9-10 minutes remove from the pan and garnish with fresh parsley, enjoy!

SPANISH POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add 2/3 cup water and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Scrape the potato mixture into a large bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Wipe out and reserve the skillet. The potato mixture can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature.
• Combine the eggs, garlic, olives, parsley, thyme and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in another large bowl. Fold in the cheese and the cooled potato mixture.
• Preheat the broiler. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture, spreading evenly. Cook, uncovered, until the sides are set and the top edge begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Run a flexible heatproof rubber spatula around the sides of the pan to loosen the omelet. Cover tightly; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the center is almost set, about 5 minutes.
• Broil the omelet until the top is fully cooked and begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the omelet rest for 2 minutes. Loosen the omelet again around the sides and underneath as far as possible. Slide the omelet onto a platter and garnish with parsley and thyme sprigs. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature with Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce.
• Combine the bell peppers, oil, tomato paste, almonds, vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is almost smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, blend in the reserved roasted bell pepper juice, 1 teaspoonful at a time, to thin out the sauce. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
