Perfect Tortilla Espanola Recipes

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.

TORTILLA ESPANOLA (SPANISH TORTILLA)

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add half of the potato slices, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. When done, remove potatoes to a large bowl, leaving oil in the skillet. Cook the remaining potatoes in the oil until tender, then add to the bowl, leaving oil in the skillet. Gently toss potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion rings, and gently cook until soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Spoon onions onto a plate, and allow to cool while the potatoes finish cooking.
• Whisk eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in cooled onions, roasted peppers, and serrano ham. Gently fold in cooked potatoes.
• Heat the skillet with the reserved oil over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, and gently cook until the sides have started to set and the bottom has turned golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Loosen the tortilla with a spatula if needed, then carefully slide onto a large plate. Turn the skillet upside down and place onto the uncooked side of the tortilla. Turn the skillet right-side-up, and remove the plate. Return the skillet to the stove, and continue cooking until the tortilla has set in the center, about 4 minutes.
• Slide the tortilla onto a serving plate and allow to cool to room temperature. Cut into six wedges and sprinkle with parsley to serve.

AUTHENTIC TORTILLA ESPANOLA CON CHORIZO

Steps:

• Lightly beat the eggs, season with a generous sprinkle of salt, and set aside.
• In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and gently cook until translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the potatoes and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes have completely fallen apart. Take care to keep the heat low enough that the potatoes and onions don't take on any color.
• Drain the onions & potatoes through a colander, reserving enough olive oil for cooking the tortilla.
• Season the potato and onion mixture with salt and mix with the beaten eggs; it should be roughly equal parts potatoes and eggs as you want the mixture to be just barely held together with the eggs.
• Heat a 10" nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil from the potatoes and onions. Pour the potato and egg mixture into the pan and leave it alone for 2 minutes until the bottom starts to set up. Gently shake the pan to release the eggs from the edge to make sure they're not sticking at all. Cook for 5 minutes or so until the bottom is set but the top is very wet.
• Place a large, flat plate on top of the skillet, hold it tightly, and in one quick motion flip over the pan and the tortilla.
• Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and return it to the heat. Add another tablespoon of the cooking oil and carefully slip the tortilla back into the pan. Using a rubber spatula, carefully tuck the edges of the tortilla into the pan and cook for another 3 minutes. Flip one or two more times to get a rounded edge. (OK I skipped that part)

• In a bowl, whisk the eggs well with the remaining salt.
• Add more oil to the pan if necessary, before adding the beaten eggs.

• Shake the pan a bit, then place a plate large enough to cover the pan on top of it and quickly flip the tortilla over.
• Slowing transfer the omelette back to the pan.

• 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.

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.
