Spanish Potato And Egg Frittata Food

SPANISH TORTILLA

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.

NAN'S POTATO AND EGG FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Spread potato slices across bottom of the pan and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides. Remove slices from pan and drain.
• When all potato slices have been cooked, return them to the pan. Turn heat to high. Pour on the beaten eggs and season with salt and pepper. Tilt the pan so that the eggs flow to the bottom of the pan. Turn heat to medium low. Cover pan with a plate and flip pan so that frittata is turned out onto plate. Slide the frittata back into the pan with the uncooked side down. Cover and let cook another 2 minutes.
• When frittata is finished cooking, remove it from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels before serving.

SPANISH-STYLE POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven in broiler mode and place a rack 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 centimeters) below the heating element.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 cup (25 grams) of the Parmesan cheese.
• Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, then toss with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 9 minutes total, or until fork tender.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and the butter over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch (25-centimeter) omelet pan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Pour the reserved egg mixture into the pan over the potatoes and onions. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata; repeat until the eggs start to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the stove to low and sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup (25 grams) of Parmesan over the top of the frittata.
• Once the frittata is mostly set, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the heat and let the tortilla rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with some sour cream, if desired.

SPANISH TORTILLA

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes using a speed-peeler, then carefully cut them into thin slices. Pat the potato slices dry with a clean tea towel.
• Peel and finely slice the onion. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil into a small frying pan over a medium heat, then add the onion and potatoes.
• Turn the heat down to low and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the onions are turning golden and the potato slices are cooked through. Try not to stir it too much or the potatoes will break up - just use a fish slice to flip them over halfway through.
• Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, season with a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then whisk together with a fork.
• When the onions and potatoes are cooked, remove the pan from the heat and carefully tip them into the eggs. Transfer the mixture back into the frying pan and place it over a low heat. Cook for around 20 minutes, or until there's almost no runny egg on top.
• Use a fish slice to slightly lift and loosen the sides of the tortilla. Carefully flip the pan over a dinner plate and tip out the tortilla, then slide it back into the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
• Turn out the tortilla onto a serving board, then cut into 6 wedges and serve hot or cold with a simple green salad.

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 POTATO TORTILLA (TORTILLA ESPAñOLA) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a 10-1/2-inch nonstick skillet that's at least 1-1/2 inches deep, heat the oil on medium high. While the oil is heating, slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle on 2 tsp. of the salt, tossing to distribute it well.
• When the oil is very hot (a potato slice will sizzle vigorously around the edges without browning), gently slip the potatoes into the oil with a skimmer or slotted spoon. Fry the potatoes, turning occasionally (trying not to break them) and adjusting the heat so they sizzle but don't crisp or brown. Set a sieve over a bowl or else line a plate with paper towels. When the potatoes are tender, after 10 to 12 minutes, transfer them with the skimmer to the sieve or lined plate.
• Add the onions and garlic (if using) to the pan. Fry, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and translucent but not browned (you might need to lower the heat), 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and, using the skimmer, transfer the onions and garlic to the sieve or plate with the potatoes. Drain the oil from the skillet, reserving at least 1 Tbs. (strain the rest and reserve to use again, if you like) and wipe out the pan with a paper towel so it's clean. Scrape out any stuck-on bits, if necessary.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs, 1/4 tsp. salt, and the pepper (if using) with a fork until blended. Add the drained potatoes, onions, and garlic and mix gently to combine with the egg, trying not to break the potatoes (some will anyway).
• Heat the skillet on medium high. Add the 1 Tbs. reserved oil. Let the pan and oil get very hot (important so the eggs don't stick), and then pour in the potato and egg mixture, spreading it evenly. Cook for 1 minute and then lower the heat to medium low, cooking until the eggs are completely set at the edges, halfway set in the center, and the tortilla easily slips around in the pan when you give it a shake, 8 to 10 minutes. You may need to nudge the tortilla loose with a knife or spatula.
• Set a flat, rimless plate that's at least as wide as the skillet upside down over the pan. Lift the skillet off the burner and, with one hand against the plate and the other holding the skillet's handle, invert the skillet so the tortilla lands on the plate (it should fall right out). (See How to do the flip for photos of this process.) Set the pan back on the heat and slide the tortilla into it, using the skimmer to push any stray potatoes back in under the eggs as the tortilla slides off the plate. Once the tortilla is back in the pan, tuck the edges in and under itself (to neaten the sides). Cook until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, hot, and with no uncooked egg on it, another 5 to 6 minutes.
• Transfer the tortilla to a serving platter and let cool at least 10 minutes. Serve warm, at room temperature, or slightly cool. Cut into wedges or small squares, sticking a toothpick in each square if serving as an appetizer.

TOMATO, GARLIC, AND POTATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Whisk together whole eggs, whites, 1/4 cup parmesan, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl.
• Preheat broiler.
• Cook garlic in 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet (preferably nonstick and ovenproof) over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer garlic with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
• Add potatoes to skillet and sautéover moderately high heat, stirring, until just tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to bowl with garlic.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil and tomatoes to skillet and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until tomatoes brown and skins split, about 4 minutes.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil and potatoes with garlic to skillet, spreading evenly, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Pour egg over vegetables and cook over moderately high heat, lifting up cooked egg around edges to let uncooked egg flow underneath, 3 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, covered, 5 minutes more (center will be moist).
• Remove lid and broil frittata 5 to 7 inches from heat until set, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle top evenly with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan, then broil until cheese melts and frittata is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Slide onto a platter and cut into 4 wedges.

SPANISH TORTILLA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat, and add the onions. Cook the onions for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent. Pour the cooked onions into a large mixing bowl, and return the skillet to the stove.
• Spread the potato slices evenly around the skillet, making sure to season each individual layer of potatoes with a pinch of salt. You will likely have enough potato slices for two layers of potato. Place a lid on the skillet and let the potatoes cook for 10 minutes, until the potato slices are soft and cooked through.
• In the meantime, add the eggs, manchego cheese, heavy cream, and 1/4 tsp salt to the mixing bowl with the cooked onions. Whisk to combine, then pour this mixture all over the cooked potatoes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the center of the frittata no longer jiggles. Cut the frittata into slices, and enjoy!

• Preheat oven to 400ºF. On a large baking sheet mix together sliced potatoes, onions, and olive oil. Arrange potatoes in a single layer potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast for 20 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through. Remove from oven when potatoes are golden brown. Turn down the oven to 375ºF. Set potatoes aside to cool slightly.
• When the potatoes and onions are cool enough to handle, arrange them in a greased pie plate (see pic in post). Spread half the potatoes and all the onions on the bottom of the pie plate. Arrange remaining potatoes, standing up and overlapping, around the edge to form a "potato crust."
• Whisk together the eggs, ricotta, parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Gently pour over potatoes and onions. If desired, drizzle additional olive oil on top.
• Put frittata back into 375ºF oven for 30 minutes or until middle is set and eggs are cooked through. If crust is becoming overly browned before eggs are cooked, use a pie shield or loosely tent foil around crust. Serve hot or at room temperature.

SPANISH POTATO OMELETTE (SPANISH TORTILLA)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a nonstick medium-sized (30cm/12-inch) pan. Fry potatoes until crispy, golden and tender. Add the onion and fry until transparent. Drain oil (use a metal colander if you have one), until all of the oil is drained.
• Return potatoes and onions to the pan, arranging them in a single layer. Reduce heat down to low.
• Beat eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Pour egg mixture into the pan, moving the potatoes and onions around the eggs using a plastic spatula. Every so often, move the eggs around the potatoes while it's cooking to ensure the eggs cook on the bottom, so there's not much eggs left on the top.
• Place a big, round plate on top of the pan, and with your hand holding the plate, flip the tortilla onto the plate. Then, slide the tortilla back into the pan carefully, moving the onion and potatoes carefully back into the pan along with the tortilla.
• Keep cooking, gently shaking the pan occasionally, until completely cooked through.
• To remove the tortilla from the pan, place a clean plate on top of the tortilla and flip again onto the plate. Garnish with parsley (optional).
• Serve with a salad, or use as an entree or appetiser. Great for snacks. Traditionally served as tapas in little squares.
