Tortilla Espanola (Spanish Omelet) image

Provided by Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Extra-virgin olive oil
5 Idaho potatoes, peeled, thinly sliced on a mandolin, and cut in half moons
1 yellow onion, finely diced
7 eggs (use 9 eggs if the potatoes are large)
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat some oil, enough to cover the potatoes, in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the potatoes and cook, covered, until the potatoes are soft but not crispy, about 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a second saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, without any color, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes and onions are soft, strain into a large bowl and drain off as much oil as possible. Set the oil aside for use in another dish.
  • In another large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk well. Stir in the potato and onion mixture and season with salt.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick fry pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the potato and egg mixture, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the eggs are set and the bottom is golden (use a spatula to peak underneath), 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Place a plate over the top of the fry pan large enough to cover the surface and carefully flip over the tortilla. Return the pan to the heat, add a little more oil if necessary, slide the tortilla back into the pan with the golden side facing up, and cook until the opposite side becomes golden, about 5 minutes. Flip back onto the plate, slice, and serve.

TORTILLA ESPANOLA (SPANISH TORTILLA)



Tortilla Espanola (Spanish Tortilla) image

Unlike most omelets, a Spanish tortilla is served at room temperature. It is the classic tapa, prepared all over Spain.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Tapas

Time 2h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup olive oil
2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, sliced into rings
6 eggs
1 roasted red pepper, drained and cut into strips
3 ounces Spanish serrano ham, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

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.

BAKED TORTILLA ESPANOLA



Baked Tortilla Espanola image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 strands saffron
2 large baking potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced crosswise
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)

SPANISH TORTILLA



Spanish Tortilla image

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.

Categories     brunch, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 3 main-course or 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 pounds potatoes, 3 or 4 medium
1 medium onion
1 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 extra-large or jumbo eggs

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.

Tortilla Española image

Categories     Egg     Breakfast     Brunch     Side     Kid-Friendly     Lunch     Bon Appétit     Spain     Small Plates

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/4 cups olive oil plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
1 thinly sliced medium onion
salt
2 peeled medium waxy potatoes, cut into 3/4" pieces
8 large eggs

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 thinly sliced medium onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and dark brown, 35-40 minutes; let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 peeled medium waxy potatoes, cut into 3/4" pieces, in 2 cups olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until oil around potatoes begins to bubble. Reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender but have not taken on any color, 10-12 minutes. Drain potatoes, reserving oil; season with salt and let cool slightly.
  • Using a fork, gently beat 8 large eggs with onion, potatoes, and 1/4 cup reserved cooking oil in a large bowl.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons reserved cooking oil in a 10" nonstick skillet over medium heat (reserve remaining oil for another use). Add egg mixture and cook, lifting at edge and tilting skillet to let uncooked egg run underneath, until bottom and edge of tortilla are set but center is still wet.
  • Set a large plate on top of skillet. Swiftly invert tortilla onto plate, then slide back into skillet, cooked side up. Cook until just set, about 2 minutes longer. Cut into wedges.

TORTILLA ESPAñOLA



Tortilla Española image

Perhaps the most Spanish of all tapas, this potato omelet makes a satisfying meal on its own; you can also serve it as a part of a spread with jamón, serrano, chorizo, cheese, olives and piquillo peppers. Poaching the potatoes and onions in olive oil makes them almost creamy. (Keep the infused oil in the fridge; it's great for dipping bread or other uses.)

Provided by Francis Lam

Categories     main course

Time 1h

Yield 8 - 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 pounds onions, diced
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
Kosher salt, to taste
4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
10 large eggs

Steps:

  • Place the onions, pepper and garlic in a large bowl. Peel the potatoes, quarter them lengthwise, and slice those crosswise into 1/8th inch tiles. (A mandoline is great for this.) Add them to the onion mixture and season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
  • Heat the oil over high heat in a 12-inch, deep-sided skillet (preferably nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron). Drop 1 potato tile into the oil as it heats; when it floats and then begins to fry vigorously, carefully add all the potato-onion mixture and stir gently.
  • Cook the potatoes at a vigorous simmer, stirring occasionally so they don't brown too much on the bottom, until they are very soft but not quite losing their shape, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes through a colander and let them cool until warm.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Taste the potatoes for salt and season the eggs with salt accordingly. Stir the potatoes into the eggs.
  • Place the skillet over medium high heat. When it is very hot, pour in the potato mixture, spread evenly and turn heat to medium. Using a spatula, gently pull the edges of the tortilla towards the center to release them from the pan and let any liquid egg run out the sides.
  • After 4 minutes, cover the pan with the bottom of an oiled baking sheet. Using towels or oven mitts, carefully flip the pan onto the sheet, place the pan back over the heat, then slide the inverted tortilla back into the pan. Cook, without stirring, for 3 minutes. Both sides of the tortilla should be golden brown.
  • Insert a long skewer into the side of the tortilla to see how wet it is inside. Some prefer the inside a little moist, some fully cooked. You can continue to cook it, flipping the tortilla as described once a minute, until it's done to your liking. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TORTILLA ESPANOLA



Tortilla Espanola image

María de los Angeles Rodr‭guez Artacho, co-owner with her husband of Bar Jordi, was kind enough to share her recipe.

Categories     Egg     Onion     Potato     Breakfast     Brunch     Fall     Spring     Summer     Winter     Pan-Fry     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 to 8 for tapas or lunch

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups oil
2 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch dice
2 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 tablespoon coarse salt
10 large eggs

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and add potatoes, onion, and half of salt. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender but not colored, about 45 minutes. Drain vegetables in a large colander set over a bowl and cool 5 minutes. Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl. Gently stir in vegetables with 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Return 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and add mixture, pressing potatoes flush with eggs. Cook over low heat, covered, 12 to 15 minutes, or until almost set. Turn off heat and let stand, covered, 15 minutes. Shake skillet gently to make sure tortilla is set on bottom and not sticking to skillet. Invert tortilla onto a large flat plate and slide back into skillet, bottom side up. (Alternatively, especially if top is still loose at this point, slide tortilla onto plate first. Cover it with skillet and invert tortilla back into skillet.) Round edge with a rubber spatula and cook over low heat, covered, 15 minutes more, or until set. Slide tortilla onto a serving plate and serve warm or at room temperature.

TORTILLA ESPANOLA



Tortilla Espanola image

Martha has made many variations of Spanish tortillas, which are similar to a frittata or potato omelet. This simple, five-ingredient version takes a cue from a memorable tortilla that she had on a trip to Spain. It's good served warm, or made ahead and eaten later at room temperature. Cut into small squares to serve as tapas, or slice into larger wedges and serve with a salad for lunch.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 pounds small russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (2 cups)
8 large eggs

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water by 2 inches, and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until just tender, about 25 minutes. Drain. Let cool slightly, then peel with a paring knife. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium. Add onion and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and cook, stirring, 5 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add to potato mixture and let stand, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
  • Clean skillet and add 2 tablespoons oil; heat over medium. Add egg-potato mixture; cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cook, pulling cooked egg away from sides with a rubber spatula to let raw egg flow underneath, until bottom is set and just pale golden, and top is almost set, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  • Place a heatproof plate (with a diameter larger than skillet's) upside-down over skillet. With hot pads, very carefully turn skillet and plate at the same time to invert tortilla onto plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to empty skillet; swirl to coat.
  • Slide tortilla, uncooked-side down, back into skillet. (Tuck in any potatoes that slip out.) Cook over low heat, pressing down with spatula and tucking in edges to shape rounded sides, until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Slide onto a cutting board. Let cool about 20 minutes, then serve, warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

SPANISH TORTILLA



Spanish tortilla image

Make a classic Spanish omelette filled with pan-fried potatoes and onion. It makes a delicious light vegetarian meal or an easy tapas dish

Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large white onion, sliced
4 tbsp olive oil
25g butter
400g waxy potatoes, peeled, quartered and finely sliced
6 garlic cloves
8 eggs, beaten
handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped, plus extra to serve
1 baguette, sliced
4 vine tomatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
drizzle of olive oil

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.

AUTHENTIC SPANISH TORTILLA RECIPE (TORTILLA ESPANOLA)



Authentic Spanish Tortilla Recipe (Tortilla Espanola) image

Provided by Tim Kroeger

Categories     Spanish Tapas

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 potatoes
8 eggs
1 onion
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
  • Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and add the potatoes. Ensure using enough olive oil so that the potatoes are fully covered.
  • When the potatoes are completely cooked, drain them in a colander using a paper towel. This way, the towel will soak most of the oil, and the leftover oil can be used later in other recipes.
  • Slice the onions in vertical long slices and add them to the frying pan with a bit of olive oil.
  • Sauté the onion slices over medium heat until they start to caramelize. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes depending on the flame.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl (ensure doing this at room temperature), and add a bit of salt which will help your eggs retain most of the moisture when you're cooking them. Note: Use around 2 eggs per potato for the ideal flavor.
  • Add the caramelized onions and the potatoes to the beaten eggs and mix everything. Once everything is nicely mixed, let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes.
  • Pour the tortilla mixture into the frying pan gently, and set the flame on medium-low heat. DO NOT cook your Tortilla Espanola over an extremely hot pan, as it can burn or overcook which is not something you want.
  • Grab a large plate to flip the tortilla. Ensure using a plate that is larger than the pan, as it will successfully flip the tortilla without scrambling it. Put the plate on top of your pan, and flip it quickly. It may be runny, but that's how it is before the other side is cooked as well.
  • Slowly slide the tortilla back into the frying pan and let the other side cook on a medium flame for an additional 6-8 minutes. If you like your tortilla fully cooked, you can let it cook a little bit more before taking it off the pan.
  • Flip the tortilla again but on a clean plate this time. Let it cool down for 10 minutes before devouring, as the recipe tastes a whole lot better at room temperature.

EASY SPANISH TORTILLA ESPANOLA

TORTILLA ESPANOLA



Tortilla Espanola image

Tortilla Espanola is a dish I make all the time at home. My boyfriend's family are Spanish, and he just loves this authentic dish. It's easy to prepare and always a crowd pleaser. Traditionally this dish only uses only onions, potatoes and egg; however I like to add a little green, either parsley or chives depending on your taste. They're both wonderful.

Provided by Jaime The Tomato Snob

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Potatoes

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil, or more if needed
2 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, or to taste
1 sweet Spanish onion, thinly sliced
6 eggs
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 bunch fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In an ovenproof skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil until it shimmers, and place the potatoes into the hot oil. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Pan fry the potatoes, stirring and tossing occasionally, until they are beginning to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and onion are slightly browned and the onion is translucent, about 10 more minutes. Take the skillet off the heat, and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Beat the eggs with 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large bowl. Stir in the parsley, add the potato-onion mixture, and lightly combine.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then gently spoon the egg-potato mixture into the hot skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, and shake the skillet a few times to help release the omelet from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Slide the skillet into the preheated oven, and bake until the omelet is puffed and the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the omelet should come out clean. Cut the omelet into pie-shaped pieces, and serve hot.

This classic Spanish dish is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or even a snack! We're keeping the base recipe under 5 ingredients, but it would also be great with vegetables and/or Spanish ham folded in.

Provided by Matt Ciampa

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups olive oil, plus more as needed
1 lb russet potato, peeled and sliced into 1/8 in rounds (1mm)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
6 large eggs
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, wide pan with high sides over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the potatoes, onion, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add more olive oil as needed to ensure everything is submerged. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 5-7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Place a metal strainer over a large heatproof bowl. Carefully strain the potatoes and onion and set aside to cool. Reserve the cooking oil.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, and pepper until foamy, 2-3 minutes. Gently fold in the cooled potato and onion mixture and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the reserved oil in a 9 or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, pour in the egg and potato mixture and spread in an even layer. Cook, tilting the pan and lifting up the edges with spatula to let the uncooked egg run underneath, until the edges are pale yellow and lacy, 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and place a large heatproof plate over the skillet. Working quickly, invert the pan to flip the tortilla onto the plate.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil, then slide the tortilla back into the pan with the uncooked side facing down. Use spatula to tuck in the sides of the tortilla. Cook until the bottom of the tortilla is browned and the center is cooked through, 2-3 minutes.
  • Slide the tortilla onto the plate and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!

  • Heat a 10-inch (25 cm) nonstick skillet with ½ cup (120 ml) of the oil on medium height heat until oil is shimmering but not bubbling. Add potato slices and cook for 10-15 minutes until potatoes are soft but not crispy or burnt.
  • Once done, drain potatoes and reserve oil. In the same pan ,add in reserved oil, heat, and add onions to cook until translucent for about 7 minutes or so. After they've cooked, strain the onions and reserve the oil again.
  • In a heat-proof bowl, put in the onions and potato slices. To this, add the egg mixture, a generous pinch of salt and mix together.
  • Heat skillet again with reserved oil. Wait until it is hot and pour in the combined egg mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the eggs are set and the bottom is golden (about 5 to 7 minutes).
  • Place a plate large enough to cover the surface of the pan over the top of the pan and carefully flip over the tortilla.
  • Gently, slide the tortilla back into the pan with the cooked golden side facing up, and uncooked side on the bottom. Cook until the opposite side becomes golden, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • When this side has cooked, carefully flip back onto the plate.
  • Let cool and serve!
  • Enjoy!
