SPANISH OMELETTE (TORTILLA DE PATATAS) (SPAIN)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a 9-inch skillet and add the potato slices carefully, because the salt will make the oil splatter.
• Try to keep the potato slices separated so they will not stick together. Cook, turning occasionally, over medium heat for 5 minutes.
• 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.

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 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 (SPANISH OMELETTE). VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and wash them. Cut them in half lengthwise. Then, slice the potatoes in pieces approximately 3 mm or 1/8″ thick. Peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
• At this step, you'll have to choose one version. Healthy version: In a non-stick frying pan, place one or two tablespoons of olive oil and when the oil is hot, add potatoes, onion, salt to taste and 250 milliliters or 1 cup of water and bring it to boil. You may need to turn down the heat slightly, so the potatoes do not burn. Cook for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Stir occasionally. Remove the potatoes and onion from the pan with a slotted spoon. Traditional version: In a non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil on medium high heat, add potatoes, onion and salt to taste. The oil should almost cover the potatoes. Cook for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Stir occasionally. Remove the potatoes and onion from the pan with a slotted spoon.
• In a bowl, place 16 tablespoons of gram flour and 16 tablespoons of water, add salt and beat by hand with a fork. Pour in the potato onion mixture. Mix all together.
• Place one or two tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and heat on medium heat. Pour in the potato onion mixture and cook over medium heat for about five minutes. Place a plate over the tortilla and turn it around and cook the other side for about another 5 minutes. Turn the tortilla again if required until it's totally cooked.
• Add black salt to get a truly authentic egg-like taste.

TORTILLA DE PATATAS

Steps:

• Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add potato and onion; they should be mostly covered with olive oil (add a little more oil if needed). Season with 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Cook on medium-high heat, maintaining a gentle boil, for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until potatoes are just fork tender. Don't overcook.
• Drain potatoes in a colander, reserving oil. Taste and season with more salt, if needed. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile crack eggs into a bowl and season with about ½ tsp salt. Beat eggs together. Add potato and onion and toss to coat.
• Add a little bit of oil to the bottom of a 10-inch non-stick skillet over high heat. Once hot, pour potato mixture into it and cook on high heat for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Run a rubber spatula along the outer edges of the tortilla 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 on toplace a large plate (larger than the size of the paover the pan and flip the omelette onto the plate.
• 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.
• Flip the finished tortilla de patata back onto a plate, and serve. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SPANISH POTATO OMELET (TORTILLA DE PATATAS)

Steps:

• Fry bacon in 10 inch skillet until crisp. Remove bacon, drain all but 4 tablespoons of fat from pan.
• Add potato and onion, cook and stir until the potatoes are tender and golden, about ten minutes.
• Whisk eggs with salt and pepper.
• Add the bacon back to the pan, add eggs.
• Cover with lid and cook on LOW until the eggs are set, perhaps 10 minutes more. Garnish with parsley.
• Cut into wedges and serve.
• Be sure not to overcook, it will get rubbery! Eggs cook themselves even after they are off the heat, as I'm sure you know.

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.

TORTILLA DE PATATA ~ POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and rinse them under cold water.
• Slice the potatoes into thin slices, about 1/2 centimeter.
• Pat the potato slices dry and put them into a large bowl, sprinkle with salt, and mix well.
• Heat a 1/2 inch of high quality extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan at medium low heat.
• When the oil is hot, add the potatoes and add more oil if necessary until all are covered.
• Cook the potatoes for 20 minutes at a low heat (they may break apart, that is okay).
• While the potatoes are cooking, beat the eggs in a large bowl and season with some salt.
• Slice the onion as thin as possible (julienne style) and fry over a low heat in a separate heavy pan (I like stainless steel) for about 10-20 minutes until they begin to caramelize (stir often).
• When the onions are caramelized, drain off any excess oil and add to the egg mixture.
• When the potatoes have been frying 20 minutes, remove them with a slotted spoon into a strainer and allow to cool off while any excess oil drips away.
• After a few minutes, add the potatoes to the egg mixture and stir well.
• Let the egg mixture sit for about 20 minutes.
• In the same pan where you fried the potatoes, remove all the oil (you can reuse it!) and over a medium low heat add the egg mixture.
• Over medium-low heat, cook the tortilla for about 6-8 minutes per side. Make sure the heat is low enough or the tortilla will cook too quickly and be rubbery. You can run a rubber spatula along the edges to make sure the tortilla isn't sticking.
• When you are sure that the bottom is cooked and you want to flip the tortilla, take a large plate and put it over the pan and flip quickly! Some egg will likely slip out- it'll be messy- but that's okay!
• Finally, slide out of the pan onto a serving plate and let cool a little before diving in.

SPANISH TORTILLA DE PATATA

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes. Once the potato is peeled, cut them into long wedges and then slice them into small pieces. The shape will be then similar to a triangle. You can always use a mandolin to cut the potatoes as it will save you time.
• Finely slice the onion and add the onion and cut potatoes onto a baking tray. Drizzle some olive oil on the top, cover with tin foil paper and bake for about 30 minutes at 200C.
• Using a big mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are combined. When the potatoes and onion are baked, add them into the egg mixture and mix all the ingredients using a big wooden spoon or spatula. Add salt and mix one last time.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan to medium heat and pour in the egg and potato mixture. Make sure the mixture is evenly spread out. Leave cooking for a couple of minutes and when the edges are set (it should take around 5-7 minutes), get ready for the most challenging part! First, make sure the egg is not sticking to the pan running a spatula along the outer edge of the tortilla.
• Using a big plate (it needs to be bigger than the pan surface), place the plate facing down on the top of the pan. Hold the plate with one hand firmly and flip the pan using the other hand. Slowly, slide the tortilla into the pan again, to cook the other side. Leave cooking for a few more minutes and when ready, repeat the flip using the serving plate.

VEGAN TORTILLA DE PATATAS (SPANISH OMELETTE)

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, onion and zucchini and cut into bite sized pieces.
• Chop the onion and cut the zucchini into bite sized pieces.
• In a good frying pan, heat the olive oil at medium heat.
• Saute the onion, add the potatoes and cook them until they are soft.
• When they are done. remove them from the heat and put them in a mixing bowl.
• Mix chickpea flour (gram flour) with the soy milk, vinegar and salt.
• Chop 1 tomato, and mix with the flour and 1/2 cup of water in a blender.
• Pour the flour/tomato mixture over the potatoes and mix well.
• Heat the frying pan once more with olive oil when hot, pour the potato mixture onto the frying man and flatten in to a smooth and even surface.
• Cook the omelet for about 5 minutes with a lid on the frying pan. If your frying pan does not have a lit, you can use a large plate.
• Placing the lid on the pan will mean that you do not have to "flip" the omelet in order to cook it on both side, the heat from the steam on top will cook the "batter" enough that the omelet is done.
• If you would prefer not to put a lid on it, you can flip the omelet carefully and then cook on the 2nd side for a few minutes.

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!
