• Add the onions and garlic and cook until the potatoes are tender.
• Drain into a colander, leaving about 3 tablespoons of oil in the skillet.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt.
• Add the potatoes, and stir to coat with the egg.
• Add the egg-coated potatoes to the very hot oil in the skillet, spreading them evenly to completely cover the base of the skillet. Lower the heat to medium and continue to cook, shaking the pan frequently, until mixture is half set.
• Use a plate to cover the skillet and invert the omelette away from the hand holding the plate (so as not to burn your hand with any escaping oil).
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and slide the omelette back into the skillet on its uncooked side.
• Cook until completely set.
• Allow the omelette to cool, and then cut it into wedges.
• Season it with salt and sprinkle with lemon juice to taste if using.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

• At this point, the cooked side of the tortilla de patatas should be facing up.
• Now gently slide the omelette back into the pan. Aim the back of the omelette to slide into the back of the skillet and use the spatula to help slide the rest of it off the plate and into the pan. Then use the spatula again to press the sides of the omelette in and under, to keep that rounded edge.
• Cook on high heat for 1 minute, and low heat for 2-3 more minutes or until done. It's done when it feels set in the center and a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

SPANISH OMELETTE (TORTILLA DE PATATAS)

Steps:

• Peel your potatoes and cut them into approximately 1/4 inch sized cubes (or even smaller if you want).
• Heat oil in a pan, add the chopped onion and sauté it on medium heat until translucent. The oil should not be too hot, otherwise, the onion pieces might burn. Stir regularly.
• Then add the potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and stir everything so the potatoes are coated in oil. Fry the potatoes on medium heat with the lid on until tender (approximately 10-12 minutes when cut very small). Stir occasionally. To check that the potatoes are done, squish a couple of potato cubes with a spatula to see if they break apart/crumble easily.
• Drain most of the oil using a colander and set the excess oil aside. Return the potatoes and a little bit of the oil (approximately 1-2 tablespoons) to the pan which has been removed from heat. Spread out the potatoes in the pan slightly so that they are evenly distributed.
• In a bowl, crack the eggs, add salt and pepper to taste and whisk well. Then move the pan with the potatoes back to the hot stove burner and evenly pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Cook everything on medium-low heat for approximately 10-15 minutes (this can vary depending on your pan and stove!) until the bottom of the egg has cooked. The top of the omelette might still be a tiny bit runny - that's okay. If the top is still very runny, however, wait a few more minutes before flipping the omelette.
• Carefully slide a spatula along the outside edges of the pan to avoid the tortilla from sticking. Then place a plate (with a rim size that is larger than the pan) on top of the pan and flip the pan and the plate so that the omelette is now on the plate with the pan on top. Then lift the pan and let the tortilla sit on the plate. Now carefully slide the tortilla back into the pan with the uncooked side facing down to allow that side to cook as well.
• Cook the tortilla for another few minutes until it is fully cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat and let the omelette settle for a couple of minutes. Then slide it onto a plate and serve!

TORTILLA DE PATATA

Steps:

• Halve the potatoes lengthwise and, with a sharp knife or, preferably, a mandoline, slice them crosswise about 1/16 inch thick. Toss the potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and half of the pepper. In 9 inch castiron skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook, tossing occasionally with a spatula, until golden and crisp. Try to avoid clumping but, if they stick together a bit don't worry. Set the pan aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in another skillet over medium low heat and saute the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until very soft and slightly golden.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the eggs together and stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and the onions. Remove the potatoes from the pan with a slotted spoon and let them drain for a moment in a colander. Wipe the potato cooking pan with a paper towel, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Heat the skillet over low heat, stir the potatoes into the egg mixture, and immediately pour it into the hot skillet. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until the bottom of the cake is slightly golden. Place a large plate upside down on top of the skillet, invert it, and turn the cake onto the plate. Slide the cake back into the pan. Finish cooking in the oven for 4 to 5 more minutes, or until the eggs are set. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges or squares, depending on the number of people you want to serve. Serve warm or at room.

• Return the skillet to the heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Pour the egg / potato mixture and cook on one side, at medium-low heat, until the bottom starts to brown.
• Place a large plate or a lid on the skillet. Remove from heat and flip the skillet quickly, to turn the omelet around. Slowly slide the uncooked side onto the skillet and return to heat. (Note: Be very careful not to burn yourself while doing this. We recommend using oven mitts or a towel. However, if you do not feel comfortable flipping the omelet this way, place the skillet in the oven and bake at 350F until set. Make sure you use an oven proof skillet!).
• Cook until set, pricking the top of the omelet with a fork, to allow it to cook evenly and a little bit faster. Set aside and let cool slightly.
• In the mean time, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and toast lightly.
• Grate the tomato in a bowl discarding the skin.
• Drizzle the remaining olive oil on the each half of the ciabatta rolls and spread the grated tomato on top, and season with salt to taste.
• Cut the potato omelette into 4 squares to fit on top of the roll. Place a square of potato omelet on each half, top with 2 strips of roasted red pepper and 1 tablespoon of goat cheese.
• Place in the broiler for approximately 4-5 minutes or until the cheese melts slightly and has a golden brown color.

TORTILLA DE PATATAS | SPANISH POTATO OMELETTE

Steps:

• Peel the potato/es and chop in small cubes of 5 millimetres. Break the eggs, put them in a bowl and mix them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Pour the oil in a pot (big enough to contain the oil and the potatoes) and put the potatoes in the pot with cold oil. Bring to heat until a temperature of 120 ºC and cook for 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Once they are soft, take them out in a sieve and remove as much oil as possible. Mix the potatoes with the egg mix.
• Warm up a pan (20 cm and non-stick if possible) with 2 tspns of oil until it reaches a temperature approx 150 ºC. Once it's warm put the potato/egg mix and cover, let it cook for 5 minutes and check that it formed a cooked crown on the borders, the centre will be still liquid. To flip the omelette: put a plate instead of a lid, and quickly flip the pan (as quick as possible since there is still liquid egg) make sure the liquid egg goes to the pan and carefully put back the omelette on the pan and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and let sit or eat immediately. Enjoy!

TORTILLA DE PATATA (SPANISH POTATO OMELET)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil to medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potato slices, season with salt and cook over low and slow heat until the potatoes are softened and lightly golden brown around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes, gently shaking the pan from time to time to prevent the potato slices from sticking. When the potatoes are ready, reserve 2 tablespoons of the olive oil from the skillet (now infused with the flavor of those onions and potatoes) and drain the potatoes in a colander or on a paper towel.
• Beat the eggs with a generous pinch of salt in a large bowl for about 1 minute. Add the drained caramelized potatoes and onions and stir with a fork to lightly break up the potatoes (this will give the finished Tortilla de Patata a wonderful light fluffy texture). Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of the reserved olive oil in the same skillet until very hot. Pour in the egg and potato mixture and cook on one side, gently shaking the pan occasionally, until the underside is set and very lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using a plate to cover the pan, carefully invert the omelet onto the plate and then gently slide the omelet back into the pan to cook on the other side until just set and light golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Do not overcook. This Tortilla de Patata is best when barely runny in the very center. Serve immediately with some slices of fresh baguette, or make ahead to serve later in the day at room temperature. Enjoy!

TORTILLA DE PATATAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel and cut the onion. The size depends on how you like it, I recommend making julienne cuts. Put it in a pan with olive oil and cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown (do not let it caramelize).
• In the meantime wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into irregular cubes although you can also cut them in the way that seems most comfortable (slices, stick, etc.)
• In another pan, put enough oil to cover the potatoes and fry them. This will help you cook evenly and not be hard when you want to make the tortilla. Fry until soft but without getting toasted on the outside.
• When the onions are ready, take them to a bowl. When the potatoes are ready, pat them dry with absorbent paper to remove the excess oil and take it to the same bowl with the onions.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and pepper, just enough so that they become a homogeneous mixture.
• Now take a pan (about 24 cm in diameter) and heat a little oil (a couple of tablespoons is enough). Put the potatoes and onions, spread them well and add the egg mixture.
• Cook for a few minutes over medium heat until the egg is cooked. Halfway through make sure to flip the tortilla, something you can do with the help of a plate, to make sure everything cooks evenly and nothing burns.
• Once everything is cooked and has a golden color, you can serve it warm.

TORTILLA DE PATATAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep stockpot over medium-high heat until almost smoking, 2 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes and onion; they should be mostly covered with oil. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and maintaining a gentle simmer, until potatoes are just fork-tender, 8 to 12 minutes; do not overcook.
• Drain potato-onion mixture in a colander; reserve oil for another use or discard. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then taste and season with more salt, if needed.
• Meanwhile, crack eggs into a large bowl and season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; whisk until well beaten. Add potato-onion mixture and toss to coat.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil, then pour in egg-potato mixture. Level it with a spatula and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 minutes. Run a rubber spatula around the outer edges to make sure it's not sticking and to help it form its shape.
• Once it starts to firm up around the edges and in the center (although it will still be a little runny), place a large plate over the skillet. Flip the omelet onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet. Use the spatula to help press the edges in and under, to maintain a rounded edge. Cook over high heat for 1 minute, then reduce to low and cook until it feels set in the center and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 2 to 3 more minutes.

TORTILLA DE PATATA (SPANISH POTATO & ONION OMELET)

Steps:

• Cut the peeled potatoes in half lengthwise. Then, with the flat side on the cutting surface, slice the potato in pieces approximately 1/8" thick. Make sure to separate the pieces that stick together. It is not necessary to slice the potatoes paper thin and it is best not to use a food processor because most will slice the potatoes too thin. If you slice them a bit thick, don't worry - it will simply take a bit longer for them to cook.
• Peel and chop the onion into 1/4" pieces. Put potatoes and onions into a bowl and mix them together. Salt the mixture.
• In a large, heavy, non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil on medium high heat. Drop a single piece of potato into the oil to ensure it is hot enough to fry. Carefully place the potato and onion mixture into the frying pan, spreading them evenly over the surface. The oil should almost cover the potatoes. You may need to turn down the heat slightly, so the potatoes do not burn.
• Note: If the oil is too hot, the potatoes will brown rapidly on the outside, but still be raw on the inside.
• Leave in pan until the potatoes are cooked. If you can poke a piece of potato with a spatula and it easily breaks in two, your potatoes are done. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon or spatula. Some cooks like to place the potato and onion mixture in a colander for a few minutes to allow more oil to drain. If you do this, place a plate underneath to catch the olive oil and you can use it again.
• While the mixture is draining, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat by hand with a whisk or fork. Pour in the potato onion mixture. Mix together with a large spoon.
• Pour 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil into a small, non-stick frying pan (aprox. 9-10") and heat on medium heat. Be careful not to get the pan too hot because the oil will burn - or the tortilla will! When hot, stir the potato onion mixture once more and "pour" into the pan and spread out evenly. Allow the egg to cook around the edges. Then you can carefully lift up one side of the omelet to check if the egg has slightly "browned." The inside of the mixture should not be completely cooked and the egg will still be runny.
• When the mixture has browned on the bottom, you are ready to turn it over to cook the other side. Carefully take the frying pan to a sink. Place a large dinner plate (12") upside down over the frying pan. With one hand on the frying pan handle and the other on top of the plate to hold it steady, quickly turn the frying pan over and the omelet will "fall" onto the plate. Place the frying pan back on the range and put just enough oil to cover the bottom and sides of the pan - approximately 1.5 teaspoons Let the pan warm for 30 seconds or so. Now slide the omelet (which is probably still a bit runny), into the frying pan, using a spatula to catch any egg mixture that runs out. Use the spatula to shape the sides of the omelet. Let the omelet cook for 3-4 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the tortilla sit in the pan for 2 minutes.
• Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate! To serve as a main course, slice it into 6-8 pieces like a pie. Serve sliced French bread on the side.
• If you are serving as an appetizer, slice a baguette into pieces about ½ inch think. Cut the tortilla into 1.5" squares and place a piece on top of each slice of bread.
• It is simply delicious served with sofrito, fried tomato sauce that is made all over Spain. Tomatoes, onions, garlic, green peppers and olive oil sautéed in a frying pan.
