AUTHENTIC SPANISH TORTILLA RECIPE (TORTILLA ESPANOLA)
Steps:
- Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
- Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and add the potatoes. Ensure using enough olive oil so that the potatoes are fully covered.
- When the potatoes are completely cooked, drain them in a colander using a paper towel. This way, the towel will soak most of the oil, and the leftover oil can be used later in other recipes.
- Slice the onions in vertical long slices and add them to the frying pan with a bit of olive oil.
- Sauté the onion slices over medium heat until they start to caramelize. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes depending on the flame.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl (ensure doing this at room temperature), and add a bit of salt which will help your eggs retain most of the moisture when you're cooking them. Note: Use around 2 eggs per potato for the ideal flavor.
- Add the caramelized onions and the potatoes to the beaten eggs and mix everything. Once everything is nicely mixed, let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Pour the tortilla mixture into the frying pan gently, and set the flame on medium-low heat. DO NOT cook your Tortilla Espanola over an extremely hot pan, as it can burn or overcook which is not something you want.
- Grab a large plate to flip the tortilla. Ensure using a plate that is larger than the pan, as it will successfully flip the tortilla without scrambling it. Put the plate on top of your pan, and flip it quickly. It may be runny, but that's how it is before the other side is cooked as well.
- Slowly slide the tortilla back into the frying pan and let the other side cook on a medium flame for an additional 6-8 minutes. If you like your tortilla fully cooked, you can let it cook a little bit more before taking it off the pan.
- Flip the tortilla again but on a clean plate this time. Let it cool down for 10 minutes before devouring, as the recipe tastes a whole lot better at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE TORTILLA TORTE
Since this is my first recipe to post I wanted to share one of our favorite treats. No one believes it's made with tortillas! Prep time does not include minimum 6 hours or overnight refrigeration! I cut it into 8 pieces. A coworker gave me the recipe years ago, and we've enjoyed it often. Hope you do too.

- There should be enough chocolate mix to liberally cover the top.
- (If I've made the chocolate layers thinner, I frost the whole thing).

SPANISH TORTILLA
The Spanish tortilla has nothing in common with the Mexican variety except its shape and its name. One is just a bread. The other can be an appetizer, a snack, or even a light meal. But the Spanish tortilla has another advantage: because it is better at room temperature than it is hot, it should be made in advance, anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours. In its most basic form, the tortilla is a potato and egg open-faced omelet that derives most of its flavor from olive oil. Onions or scallions can replace the potato in part or entirely, as can cooked greens like chard. The only hard part is turning the partly formed tortilla, so do it swiftly and carefully (using a nonstick skillet makes it much easier). The worst that will happen is that a little potato and egg will be left behind when you return the cake to the skillet. If you can't bring yourself to risk the flip, just slide the pan into a 375-degree oven until the eggs are completely set, but not overcooked.

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.

Stir thoroughly and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl mix the potatoes, onions, and 1/2 teaspoon salt by hand.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the potatoes and onions on low heat and cover with a lid for 5 minutes to let them soften. Turn up the heat for another 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the stove and drain off any excess oil.
- Meanwhile break the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the remaining salt and milk and whisk vigorously until frothy. Add the potatoes and onions to the eggs and mix until fully integrated.
- Clean the frying pan and return to stove.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil on a high heat and pour in the mixture, moving it around in the pan to help the tortilla to rise. Fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally until it has set. Then turn down the heat to allow the inside to cook. After a few minutes turn up the heat in order to brown the tortilla.
- When it's cooked place a large plate over the frying pan and flip the tortilla onto it. Return to the pan and fry the other side until golden brown.

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.
