TORTILLA ESPANOLA (SPANISH OMELET)



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 ESPAñOLA (SPANISH POTATO OMELETTE)



Tortilla Española (Spanish Potato Omelette) image

One of the culinary wonders of Spain- here is my recipe which may or may not be too authentic... When I was there studying abroad, my spanish host mom showed me how to make it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where the recipe I wrote went. This is how I make it now, and it turns out pretty great every time! This is the basic recipe- to this you can add meat (like sausage) veggies (like spinach) or more spices (like oregano and basil).

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium potatoes, washed, peeled
4 eggs
1/3 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced (or pressed)
extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Add oil to a medium frying pan (the smaller the easier to flip).
  • Dice the potatoes into small digit-sized pieces.
  • Fry the potatoes, garlic, and onions until they are tender and translucent, respectively.
  • Break the eggs into a large bowl, scramble them.
  • Add the cooked potatoes/onions to the eggs.
  • Mix, add your spices of choice.
  • Heat the frying pan until it's super hot (with plenty of oil- probably more than you think).
  • Add the potato/egg mixture into the pan in a quick motion.
  • About 5 seconds later, turn down the heat to medium (you don't want it to burn, just make a nice little crust).
  • Cook for 10 minutes or until you smell burning, make sure that the tortilla can move in the pan and is not stuck on the bottom
  • THE FUN PART: take a plate that's wider than the pan, place it on top of the pan.
  • Put one hand (with a glove) on the plate.
  • Use the other hand to grab the pan and with one swift motion, flip the pan so the plate ends up on the bottom and the tortilla on the plate.
  • Add more oil to the pan, put the half cooked tortilla back in- this time you'll cook the bottom.
  • Cook for 3-5 more minutes.
  • Cut like a pizza, serve hot, cold or room temperature (great with mayonnaise).

TORTILLA ESPANOLA: SPANISH OMELETTE



Tortilla Espanola: Spanish Omelette image

Tortilla is Spain's most favorite snack. Seen and eaten in almost every tapas bar, this "Spanish Omelette" comes in many different guises; this recipe is the most traditional.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large eggs
Salt, to taste
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
3 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
Green olives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk with a fork and add a pinch of salt.
  • Heat some oil in a frying pan (not one with a heavy base as this will prove to be a hindrance when preparing to do the flip).
  • Add the potato and fry for a couple of minutes. Add the onion and mash together.
  • When the potato starts to brown a little on the edges and is mashed up with the onion in a lumpy fashion then add the eggs. Make sure the potato and onions are fully submerged by the eggs. Poke the potato to allow some of the egg to seep into the mashed mixture.
  • Fry this gently on a low heat. While cooking shake the pan to loosen the tortilla from the base and tidy the edges up with a wooden spoon. Do not over cook. The middle is meant to remain runny and gooey.
  • The egg will start setting, as this happens place a plate over the pan, a large enough plate to cover the pan substantially, and with a quick co-ordinated movement of both wrists ?flip? the tortilla over onto the plate and slide back into the pan to cook the underside.
  • Keep shaking the pan lightly so the tortilla does not stick to the bottom.
  • Once it feels firm on the edges and soft in the middle (after about 1 minute) then slide the tortilla back onto the plate. For the brave heart you can do the flip again if you wish.
  • Let the tortilla rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Cut into cake slices or cubes. Garnish with green olives.

  • Salt Your Eggs. This is not the first step you'll see in most tortilla española recipes, but there's a good reason to change that.
  • Cook Your Potatoes and, Yes, Onions. Next, peel and slice the potatoes and onions thinly. I like Yukon Golds for their smoother, less starchy texture, but you can use russets, too.
  • Froth Eggs, Then Mix in Potato and Onion. I give the eggs one final vigorous beating to froth them up, which helps create an airier tortilla later, and then mix the potato and egg in.
  • Cook, Shake, Swirl. When the oil in the skillet is hot, I scrape the egg mixture in, shaking and swirling the pan to keep the tortilla in motion.
  • Form and Flip. As soon as the egg is noticeably thicker, I take a spatula and push it in all around the sides. The idea is to start giving the tortilla its characteristic puck-like shape.
