Ham And Potato Tortilla Recipes

BAKED SPANISH STYLE TORTILLA WITH HAM

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet, frying pan or sauté pan. Add the potato slices and stir to coat with oil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the sliced onions and crushed garlic. Mix well and continue cooking for another 10 minutes - stirring occasionally.
• Add the ham strips and sliced jalapeños, mix and cook for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Taste and season with salt - the ham is naturally salty so you probably don't need to add much salt.
• Remove from the heat and let the potato ham mix cool for about 5 minutes.
• Pre-heat the oven to 375F.
• Beat eggs with some ground black pepper using a whisk or fork until you have a smooth mix.
• Add the potato ham mix to the eggs and stir gently.
• The tortillas can be baked in greased baking molds or an oven proof skillet(s). For easy removal, you can line the baking mold with parchment paper.
• Pour the tortilla mix into the baking molds and place in the pre-heated oven.
• Bake the potato and ham tortillas until they are fully cooked and they start to get golden on top. Exact baking time will vary based on the size of the baking pan and thickness of the tortilla. The smaller ones made in 5 inch cast iron pans (at less than 1 inch of thickness) took about 18-20 minutes to be done. The larger one made in a rectangular 9 inch by 5 inch pan , and about 1.5 inch thick, took about 30-35 minutes to be done.
• Remove the baked Spanish tortilla from the oven. Let it cool down a little before removing from the baking mold. If lined with parchment paper you can just gently lift it out of the pan. If prepared in small individual serving molds then they can be served directly as is. Can be served warm or cold.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley (or cilantro) and crumbled queso fresco.

POTATO TORTILLA

Steps:

• Spread potatoes in a heavy flameproof casserole, cover with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spread onion on top. Place over medium-high heat until oil bubbles. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring gently once or twice, until potatoes are tender but not broken, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Place a mesh colander over a heatproof bowl, and drain potatoes and onion, reserving oil. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add potato mixture to eggs and stir gently to combine.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick pan or well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons reserved olive oil. Add one-third of the potato mixture and stir with wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until egg is barely set, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add another one-third of the mixture and stir for 15 seconds. Add remaining third and stir two or three times. Gently pat mixture to flatten it, and allow it sit until the top is loose, the center is somewhat firm and the bottom is firm (pale golden, not golden brown), about 30 seconds.
• Run a spatula around perimeter of tortilla, shaking pan to be sure edges and bottom are free. Place a small flat plate that fits securely inside pan directly on top of tortilla. Wearing a kitchen mitt, grasp handle close to pan. In one quick movement, flip tortilla onto plate.
• Quickly wipe out pan, add 2 tablespoons reserved olive oil, and return pan to medium-low heat until reheated. Slide tortilla back into reheated pan so the bottom is now the top. Pat down to compact layers of potatoes and eliminate air bubbles. When tortilla is set and bottom and edges are free of pan, use spatula or spoon to turn in the edges to give tortilla a more compact, attractive, shape. If desired, tortilla can be allowed to rest for 5 minutes on lowest possible heat, before turning onto a serving plate.
• To serve, slice hot tortilla in large wedges. It may also be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, then served cold with mayonnaise.
