Potato And Onion Tortilla Recipes

TORTILLA ESPAñOLA (POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Peel the potatoes and slice thinly (about 1/4 inch thick) using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, or cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Place the cut potatoes into a bowl and cover them with salted water. Soak for about 15 minutes.
• Slice the onion thinly.
• In a large, deep, nonstick, ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until the onion is soft, fragrant, and turning golden.
• Drain the potatoes and pat them dry.
• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Reserve the bowl.
• Add the potatoes to the onion in the skillet.
• Cover and cook the potatoes over low heat until tender, stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking to the pan and burning.
• In the reserved large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream, seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Pour the cream and egg mixture over the potatoes and onion in the skillet. Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over the eggs and potatoes, if using.
• Cook the mixture over low heat until the eggs seem mostly set, being careful not to burn them, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Carefully flip the frittata by turning a plate upside down over the skillet.
• Turn the skillet over so the frittata falls onto the now right-side-up plate.
• Slide the frittata from the plate back into the skillet so the browned side is facing up and cook over low heat for a few more minutes.
• Cut the tortilla into wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Thinly slice the potatoes.
• Heat 5 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet and cook the potatoes and onions, turning frequently, for 10 minutes more, until the vegetables are tender.
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a large bowl with a little seasoning.
• Tip the potatoes and onions into the eggs and mix gently. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Wipe out the pan skillet with paper towels and heat the remaining oil in it.
• Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and spread it out in an even layer. Cover and cook over very gentle heat for 20 minutes, until the eggs are just set.
• Serve cut into wedges.

POTATO AND ONION TORTILLA WITH SPICY PICKLED CARROTS AND GRAPES

Steps:

• Bring the vinegar and water to a boil, n a large saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, garlic, onion, bay leaf, peppercorns, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. Add jalapenos and grapes, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and refrigerate overnight in the pickling liquid.
• To cook tortilla, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Whisk together eggs and milk in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the egg mixture over browned potatoes and onions. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until tortilla is set around edges, about 3 minutes. Put the skillet in the oven and bake until the tortilla is cooked through and firm to the touch, about 5 minutes. Slice and serve with the pickled grapes and carrots.

SPANISH TORTILLA

Steps:

• Put a large non-stick frying pan on a low heat. Cook the onion slowly in the oil and butter until soft but not brown - this should take about 15 mins. Meanwhile, peel the tomatoes (if using) by scoring the skins with a cross, putting them in a bowl and pouring over just-boiled water. Drain the water after 2-3 mins and the skins will peel away easily. You can then coarsely grate them.
• Add the potatoes to the pan, then cover and cook for a further 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally to make sure they fry evenly. When the potatoes are soft and the onion is shiny, crush 2 garlic cloves and stir in, followed by the beaten eggs.
• Put the lid back on the pan and leave the tortilla to cook gently. After 20 mins, the edges and base should be golden, the top set but the middle still a little wobbly. To turn it over, slide it onto a plate and put another plate on top, turn the whole thing over and slide it back into the pan to finish cooking.
• Once cooked, transfer to a plate and serve the tortilla warm or cold, scattered with the chopped parsley. To accompany the tortilla, take slices of warmed baguette, stab all over with a fork and rub with the remaining garlic, pile on the grated tomatoes and season with sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

VIDALIA ONION AND POTATO TORTILLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. In a medium saucepan over high heat, cover potatoes with 4 cups water and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
• Slightly beat eggs with salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat, until just beginning to smoke. Add potatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until evenly golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Add onions, and continue to cook until wilted and beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add eggs, sprinkle with chives, and swirl pan to distribute evenly. Transfer to oven.
• Bake until center is set and sides are puffy and golden, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature if eggs brown too quickly. Do not overcook, or eggs will get tough. Let cool slightly before slicing into small wedges.

TORTILLA DE PATATAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep stockpot over medium-high heat until almost smoking, 2 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes and onion; they should be mostly covered with oil. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and maintaining a gentle simmer, until potatoes are just fork-tender, 8 to 12 minutes; do not overcook.
• Drain potato-onion mixture in a colander; reserve oil for another use or discard. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then taste and season with more salt, if needed.
• Meanwhile, crack eggs into a large bowl and season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; whisk until well beaten. Add potato-onion mixture and toss to coat.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil, then pour in egg-potato mixture. Level it with a spatula and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 minutes. Run a rubber spatula around the outer edges to make sure it's not sticking and to help it form its shape.
• Once it starts to firm up around the edges and in the center (although it will still be a little runny), place a large plate over the skillet. Flip the omelet onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet. Use the spatula to help press the edges in and under, to maintain a rounded edge. Cook over high heat for 1 minute, then reduce to low and cook until it feels set in the center and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 2 to 3 more minutes.

POTATO TORTILLA

Steps:

• Spread potatoes in a heavy flameproof casserole, cover with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spread onion on top. Place over medium-high heat until oil bubbles. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring gently once or twice, until potatoes are tender but not broken, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Place a mesh colander over a heatproof bowl, and drain potatoes and onion, reserving oil. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add potato mixture to eggs and stir gently to combine.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick pan or well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons reserved olive oil. Add one-third of the potato mixture and stir with wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until egg is barely set, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add another one-third of the mixture and stir for 15 seconds. Add remaining third and stir two or three times. Gently pat mixture to flatten it, and allow it sit until the top is loose, the center is somewhat firm and the bottom is firm (pale golden, not golden brown), about 30 seconds.
• Run a spatula around perimeter of tortilla, shaking pan to be sure edges and bottom are free. Place a small flat plate that fits securely inside pan directly on top of tortilla. Wearing a kitchen mitt, grasp handle close to pan. In one quick movement, flip tortilla onto plate.
• Quickly wipe out pan, add 2 tablespoons reserved olive oil, and return pan to medium-low heat until reheated. Slide tortilla back into reheated pan so the bottom is now the top. Pat down to compact layers of potatoes and eliminate air bubbles. When tortilla is set and bottom and edges are free of pan, use spatula or spoon to turn in the edges to give tortilla a more compact, attractive, shape. If desired, tortilla can be allowed to rest for 5 minutes on lowest possible heat, before turning onto a serving plate.
• To serve, slice hot tortilla in large wedges. It may also be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, then served cold with mayonnaise.

SPANISH-STYLE POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven in broiler mode and place a rack 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 centimeters) below the heating element.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 cup (25 grams) of the Parmesan cheese.
• Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, then toss with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 9 minutes total, or until fork tender.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and the butter over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch (25-centimeter) omelet pan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Pour the reserved egg mixture into the pan over the potatoes and onions. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata; repeat until the eggs start to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the stove to low and sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup (25 grams) of Parmesan over the top of the frittata.
• Once the frittata is mostly set, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the heat and let the tortilla rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with some sour cream, if desired.
