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.

SIMPLE SPANISH TORTILLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the potato slices a few at a time so they don't stick together. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the onions are golden but not brown, about 10 minutes. Place a strainer over a bowl in your sink and transfer the potatoes and onions to drain; reserve the oil.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Drain excess oil off of the potato mixture. Add the potatoes and onions to the egg mixture and combine until they are completely mixed in. Set the bowl aside for about 15 minutes to let the potatoes release some of their starches into the eggs.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the reserved olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high for 1 minute. Add the egg-potato mixture, rotating the skillet in a circular motion to distribute it evenly. Lower the heat to medium-low and shake the pan a few times to prevent sticking (by shaking the pan, you ensure that the eggs and potatoes release from the pan bottom). Cook the tortilla for about 5 minutes or until the potatoes on the bottom start to turn golden brown. Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until almost set. Remove from the oven and place a large flat plate on top of the skillet and invert the skillet. The tortilla should come right out. Add a tablespoon of the reserved olive oil to the skillet and slide the tortilla back in to cook the other side until it is golden-brown, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the heat off and set the skillet aside until the tortilla cools to room temperature. Transfer the tortilla to a plate sprinkle with parsley and serve at room temperature cut into triangles or squares.
• *Cook's Note: The Yukon potatoes should be sliced using a mandolin.

ONLINE ROUND 2 RECIPE - CEVICHE

Steps:

• Cut the reserved tilapia into 1/2-inch chunks and put them into a glass bowl. Top with the onion, tomato, and jalapeno. Pour in the orange and lime juices and stir gently to mix. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Don't let it marinate longer or the fish will turn mushy.
• While the fish is marinating, heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray. Cut the tortillas into 6 wedges and spread them on the baking sheet in 1 layer. Bake in oven until lightly browned and crisp about 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt.
• Serve the ceviche in small bowls garnished with the cilantro and with the tortilla chips on the side.

(WEB EXCLUSIVE) ROUND 2 RECIPE: FARMHOUSE HASH TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a medium bowl combined leftover hash, chili seasoning and 1/2 cup of cheese, mix until well blended. Wrap tortillas in a damp towel and heat in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Place 2 tablespoon of the hash and cheese mixture on the lower third of a corn tortilla. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Top with remaining cheese and bake in oven for 15 to 20 minutes until crispy.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, sausage, paprika, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper, to taste. Saute stirring frequently, until the potatoes and carrots are tender, and the sausage is cooked through, about 12 minutes.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer over low heat and add the vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl and carefully slide it into the simmering water. Quickly repeat with remaining eggs. Using a slotted spoon, carefully corral the white of each egg around its yolk. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm, or to the desired degree of doneness, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Divide the hash among 4 serving plates and top the hash with a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
