Potato Wedge Tortilla Recipes

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.

POTATO WEDGE TORTILLA

Steps:

• Cut the potato into 8 wedges, don't bother to peel it. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the wedges and fry gently for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and cooked through (they will cook more quickly if you put a lid on the pan). Scoop the potato out of the pan, add the onion and fry until it is soft and golden. Now add the red pepper and cook until softened. Tip the potatoes back in the pan.
• In a bowl, beat the eggs together with plenty of seasoning, then pour over the potato, pepper and onion. Keep pushing the egg mix around in the pan to make space for the uncooked egg to flow into.
• When the egg looks quite set, throw the grated cheese over and slide the pan under a hot grill for a few minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Cut into wedges and dish up (salad is good with this, baked beans are even better).

SOUTHWESTERN TORTILLA WEDGES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, mix salsa and sour cream. Spoon 1/2 of salsa mixture into another small bowl; reserve for topping. To other 1/2 of salsa mixture, stir in 1/2 of the bell pepper and all of the chicken.
• To make 2 stacks, place 2 tortillas on ungreased cookie sheet; spread each with chicken mixture. Spread 2 tortillas with guacamole; place on chicken mixture. Spread 2 more tortillas with refried beans; place on guacamole. Top each stack with reserved salsa mixture, 1 tortilla, remaining bell pepper and the cheese.
• Bake about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and filling is hot. Cut each stack into 8 wedges.

TORTILLA WEDGES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except tortillas and picante sauce.
• Spread a thin amount over tortillas making two stacks of layered tortillas.
• Chill. Cut into wedges.
• Serve with picante sauce.

PEPPER AND POTATO TORTILLA

Steps:

• Do not peel the potatoes, but wash them well.
• Parboil them for about 20 minutes, then drain and, and when they are cool enough to handle, slice them thickly.
• Switch on the broiler so that it warms up while you prepare the rest of the dish.
• In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil and fry the onion, garlic and peppers over a moderate heat for 5 minutes until softened.
• Add the potatoes and continue frying, stirring from time to time until the potatoes are completely cooked and the vegetables are soft.
• Add a little extra oil if the pan seems rather too dry.
• Pour in half the beaten eggs, then sprinkle over half the grated Cheddar cheese, then the rest of the egg.
• Season with salt and pepper and finish with a layer of cheese.
• Continue to cook over a low heat, without stirring, half covering the pan with a lid to help set the eggs.
• When the mixture is firm, flash the pan under the hot broiler to seal the top just lightly.
• Leave the tortilla in the pan to cool.
• This helps it firm up further and makes it easier to turn out.
• Cut into generous wedges to serve.

GOLDEN POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F and oil a large shallow baking pan large enough to hold potatoes in one layer. Peel potatoes and cut each lengthwise into 6 wedges. Toss potatoes with oil and salt and pepper to taste. Roast potatoes in lower third of oven until undersides are golden, about 40 minutes. Turn potatoes over and continue roasting until undersides are golden and potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes more.
