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.

Immediately slip the uncooked side back into the pan. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the other side is a very light brown.
- Remove the omelet from the pan to a plate and cut into 4 wedges.
TORTILLA ESPANOLA (TRADITIONAL SPANISH POTATO OMELETE).
This Spanish influenced recipe is adapted by chef Mario Batali. Tortilla Espanola is a very common, simple and delicious dish found in most areas of Spain. This version has a high ratio of potatoes to eggs (the way I like it!). You could serve this as a tapas offering, breakfast, a sidedish or a non-meat main dish. Enjoy.

TORTILLA ESPAñOLA (SPANISH POTATO OMELETTE)
One of the culinary wonders of Spain- here is my recipe which may or may not be too authentic... When I was there studying abroad, my spanish host mom showed me how to make it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where the recipe I wrote went. This is how I make it now, and it turns out pretty great every time! This is the basic recipe- to this you can add meat (like sausage) veggies (like spinach) or more spices (like oregano and basil).

Steps:
- Add oil to a medium frying pan (the smaller the easier to flip).
- Dice the potatoes into small digit-sized pieces.
- Fry the potatoes, garlic, and onions until they are tender and translucent, respectively.
- Break the eggs into a large bowl, scramble them.
- Add the cooked potatoes/onions to the eggs.
- Mix, add your spices of choice.
- Heat the frying pan until it's super hot (with plenty of oil- probably more than you think).
- Add the potato/egg mixture into the pan in a quick motion.
- About 5 seconds later, turn down the heat to medium (you don't want it to burn, just make a nice little crust).
- Cook for 10 minutes or until you smell burning, make sure that the tortilla can move in the pan and is not stuck on the bottom
- THE FUN PART: take a plate that's wider than the pan, place it on top of the pan.
- Put one hand (with a glove) on the plate.
- Use the other hand to grab the pan and with one swift motion, flip the pan so the plate ends up on the bottom and the tortilla on the plate.
- Add more oil to the pan, put the half cooked tortilla back in- this time you'll cook the bottom.
- Cook for 3-5 more minutes.
- Cut like a pizza, serve hot, cold or room temperature (great with mayonnaise).

- Salt Your Eggs. This is not the first step you'll see in most tortilla española recipes, but there's a good reason to change that.
- Cook Your Potatoes and, Yes, Onions. Next, peel and slice the potatoes and onions thinly. I like Yukon Golds for their smoother, less starchy texture, but you can use russets, too.
- Froth Eggs, Then Mix in Potato and Onion. I give the eggs one final vigorous beating to froth them up, which helps create an airier tortilla later, and then mix the potato and egg in.
- Cook, Shake, Swirl. When the oil in the skillet is hot, I scrape the egg mixture in, shaking and swirling the pan to keep the tortilla in motion.
- Form and Flip. As soon as the egg is noticeably thicker, I take a spatula and push it in all around the sides. The idea is to start giving the tortilla its characteristic puck-like shape.
