SPANISH TORTILLA
The Spanish tortilla has nothing in common with the Mexican variety except its shape and its name. One is just a bread. The other can be an appetizer, a snack, or even a light meal. But the Spanish tortilla has another advantage: because it is better at room temperature than it is hot, it should be made in advance, anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours. In its most basic form, the tortilla is a potato and egg open-faced omelet that derives most of its flavor from olive oil. Onions or scallions can replace the potato in part or entirely, as can cooked greens like chard. The only hard part is turning the partly formed tortilla, so do it swiftly and carefully (using a nonstick skillet makes it much easier). The worst that will happen is that a little potato and egg will be left behind when you return the cake to the skillet. If you can't bring yourself to risk the flip, just slide the pan into a 375-degree oven until the eggs are completely set, but not overcooked.

Steps:
- Peel and thinly slice potatoes and onions; it's easiest if you use a mandoline. Meanwhile, heat oil in an 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. After 3 or 4 minutes, drop in a potato slice. When tiny bubbles appear around its edges, add potatoes, onions, a good pinch of salt and a liberal sprinkling of pepper. Gently turn mixture in oil with a wooden spoon, and adjust heat so oil bubbles lazily.
- Cook, turning potatoes gently every few minutes, until they are tender when pierced with a small knife. Adjust the heat so they do not brown. If potatoes begin to break, they are overdone; stop cooking immediately. As potatoes cook, beat eggs with some salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Drain potatoes in a colander, reserving oil. Wipe out skillet, and heat over a medium flame for a minute. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Gently mix warm potatoes with eggs, and add to skillet. As soon as edges firm up, after a minute or so, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 5 minutes.
- Insert a rubber spatula all around edges of tortilla to make sure it will slide from pan. The top will still be runny. Carefully slide out onto a plate. Cover with another plate, and holding plates tightly, invert them. Add another tablespoon oil to skillet, and use the spatula to coax tortilla back in. Cook 5 minutes, then slide from skillet onto a clean plate. Serve warm (not hot), or at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.

BAKED SPANISH STYLE TORTILLA WITH HAM
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet, frying pan or sauté pan. Add the potato slices and stir to coat with oil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the sliced onions and crushed garlic. Mix well and continue cooking for another 10 minutes - stirring occasionally.
- Add the ham strips and sliced jalapeños, mix and cook for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Taste and season with salt - the ham is naturally salty so you probably don't need to add much salt.
- Remove from the heat and let the potato ham mix cool for about 5 minutes.
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F.
- Beat eggs with some ground black pepper using a whisk or fork until you have a smooth mix.
- Add the potato ham mix to the eggs and stir gently.
- The tortillas can be baked in greased baking molds or an oven proof skillet(s). For easy removal, you can line the baking mold with parchment paper.
- Pour the tortilla mix into the baking molds and place in the pre-heated oven.
- Bake the potato and ham tortillas until they are fully cooked and they start to get golden on top. Exact baking time will vary based on the size of the baking pan and thickness of the tortilla. The smaller ones made in 5 inch cast iron pans (at less than 1 inch of thickness) took about 18-20 minutes to be done. The larger one made in a rectangular 9 inch by 5 inch pan , and about 1.5 inch thick, took about 30-35 minutes to be done.
- Remove the baked Spanish tortilla from the oven. Let it cool down a little before removing from the baking mold. If lined with parchment paper you can just gently lift it out of the pan. If prepared in small individual serving molds then they can be served directly as is. Can be served warm or cold.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley (or cilantro) and crumbled queso fresco.

Steps:
- Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add half of the potato slices, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. When done, remove potatoes to a large bowl, leaving oil in the skillet. Cook the remaining potatoes in the oil until tender, then add to the bowl, leaving oil in the skillet. Gently toss potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion rings, and gently cook until soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Spoon onions onto a plate, and allow to cool while the potatoes finish cooking.
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in cooled onions, roasted peppers, and serrano ham. Gently fold in cooked potatoes.
- Heat the skillet with the reserved oil over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, and gently cook until the sides have started to set and the bottom has turned golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Loosen the tortilla with a spatula if needed, then carefully slide onto a large plate. Turn the skillet upside down and place onto the uncooked side of the tortilla. Turn the skillet right-side-up, and remove the plate. Return the skillet to the stove, and continue cooking until the tortilla has set in the center, about 4 minutes.
- Slide the tortilla onto a serving plate and allow to cool to room temperature. Cut into six wedges and sprinkle with parsley to serve.

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.

- Allow to cook until both potatoes and onions are tender. This should take about 10-12 minutes. You want the potatoes to be soft, but not fall apart. Every 3 minutes or some take a spatula and move the mixture from the bottom over the to to keep it from browning on the bottom.
- Once the potato and onions are cooked, place a bowl with a colander on top. Using a slotted spoon move the potatoes and onions to the colander allow them to drain. (The bowl below will catch the oil).
