SPANISH TORTILLA WITH SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚. Combine the onion, sweet potatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet. Cover and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender but not falling apart, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and season with salt. Pour the potato mixture into the eggs and stir to combine. Stir in the cheese. Place the skillet over medium heat; add the egg mixture and spread out the potatoes with a rubber spatula. Cook until starting to set around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar and mustard in a large bowl; whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth. Add the endive, almonds and 2 tablespoons chives; toss and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the egg tortilla to a cutting board, cut into wedges and divide among plates. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives and serve with the endive salad.

SWEET POTATO AND KALE SPANISH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Heat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the pan and warm. Add the sweet potato, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions and potatoes are beginning to brown and the potatoes are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the kale and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the kale is wilted and tender, about 3 minutes.
• Season the eggs with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella. Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the mixture, making sure all the potatoes are coated in the egg and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cook on the stove for about 3 minutes to set the bottom. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until golden brown and set, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Run a thin knife along the edges and cut into 16 squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.

SPANISH TORTILLA WITH MUSHROOMS AND KALE

Steps:

• Heat 3 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil at medium low in a heavy 8- to 9-inch skillet, preferably nonstick. Add potatoes, spreading them in the pan, and cook 10 minutes, stirring from time to time to prevent sticking. Do not let them brown. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add onions, mushrooms, thyme and another tablespoon of oil and continue cooking, stirring from time to time, another 10 minutes or so, until mushrooms and onions have softened and potatoes are tender. Add the kale and cook 5 minutes more. Check seasoning. Turn off heat and remove the vegetables to a bowl. Fold in the eggs.
• Wipe out the pan, removing any clinging bits. To flip the tortilla, have ready a plate that's larger than the pan, the lid of the pan or a plastic cutting board wrapped in foil. Alternatively, you can finish the tortilla under the broiler; if so, heat the broiler.
• Return pan to the stove on medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot, add the eggs and vegetables. Reduce heat to medium low. Slide the pan back and forth to prevent the tortilla from sticking and run a spatula around the edges to loosen the eggs. When the eggs are nearly set on top, finish under the broiler for a minute or two, until very lightly browned, or flip the tortilla.
• To flip, place the plate, lid or cutting board over the pan. Using towels or mitts, grasp the plate, lid or board and the skillet together and turn them over so the tortilla comes out. Return the skillet to the stove on medium heat, add the remaining half-tablespoon of oil, slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook the second side for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, dust with espelette or cayenne and serve at once or set aside to serve warm.

KALE AND POTATO SPANISH TORTILLA

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into 1/3-inch dice (2 1/4 cups). Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then reduce heat to moderately low and cook potatoes, onion, and 1 teaspoon salt, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Blanch kale while potatoes cook:
• Cook kale in a 4- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately transfer to a bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain again, squeezing handfuls of kale to extract excess moisture, then coarsely chop.
• Add kale to potato mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain vegetables in colander set over a bowl, reserving drained oil, and cool 10 minutes.
• Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl, then stir in vegetables, 1 tablespoon drained oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Add 1 tablespoon drained oil to skillet, then add egg mixture and cook over low heat, covered, until sides are set but center is still loose, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 15 minutes.
• Shake skillet gently to make sure tortilla is not sticking (if it is sticking, loosen with a heatproof plastic spatula). Slide tortilla onto a large flat plate, then invert skillet over tortilla and flip it back into skillet. Round off edge of tortilla with plastic spatula and cook over low heat, covered, 10 minutes more. Slide tortilla onto a plate and serve warm, cut into wedges.
