SPANISH TORTILLA

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.

SPANISH TORTILLA

Steps:

• Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Soak slices in water for 10 minutes. Drain and dry completely in a salad spinner. Meanwhile, pour enough olive oil into a large saucepan so it's about an inch deep. Heat over medium heat until a slice of onion bubbles gently when placed in the oil, about 310 degrees F. Add the onions and fry, stirring occasionally until just golden, about 8 minutes. Scoop the onions from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper-towel lined baking sheet.
• Add about half of the potatoes, and fry until lightly golden and a little puffy, about 10 minutes. Scoop the potatoes from the oil, add to the onions. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes. Reserve the oil. Season the vegetables with 3 teaspoons of the salt. (The preparation of the vegetables can be done up to 2 hours ahead.)
• Break the eggs into a large bowl. Whisk just enough to combine but not so much that they get loose and runny, about 15 times. Add the vegetables and remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
• Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil and heat. Add the tortilla mixture and stir briskly with a spatula to get peaks and valleys in the folds of the egg, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stop stirring and reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the eggs are set but still pretty loose, about 5 minutes. Lay a flat pan lid or a plate on top and invert the tortilla. Add more oil to the pan if needed, and slide the tortilla back into the pan, cover and finish cooking until set and lightly brown, about 3 minutes more. Slide the tortilla out of the pan to a cutting board to cool slightly.
• Cut into cubes or thin wedges and serve warm or room temperature as is or with 1 of the suggested toppings.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sugar and half the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and sweet, about 1 hour. If the onions begin to get really brown, add a splash of water to slow them down.
• Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes, crosswise. Grate them on the cut side on the largest holes of a box grater into a bowl all the way down to the skins. Discard skins. Add tomato puree, pimenton and bay leaf to the caramelized onions, and continue to cook until quite thick and the tomato separates from the oil, about 10 to 15 minutes more. Season with the remaining salt or to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SPANISH TORTILLA

Steps:

• Use a large non stick pan for the first part of preparation and a 9" non stick pan for the final preparation.
• In large pan, layer potato, onion slices, olive oil and coarse salt to taste.
• Cook over medium heat, lifting and turning the potatoes/onion occasionally, until they are tender but not brown.
• Don't be afraid if they brown a little, you want them to be cooked.
• The potatoes will remain separated, not in a "cake".
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl beat the eggs with a fork until they are slightly foamy.
• Let stand until potatoes are done.
• Remove the potatoes from the skillet and drain them in a colander, reserving about 3 tablespoons of the oil.
• Add the drained potato/onions to the beaten eggs while the potatoes are still hot.
• Press the potatoes down into the eggs so they are completely covered.
• Let mixture stand for 15 minutes.
• Heat two tablespoons of the reserved oil in the 9" pan.
• Add the potato/egg mixture to the pan rapidly spreading evenly with a pancake turner.
• Move the pan around and shake once in a while to evenly brown the mixture and keep it from sticking.
• You can use the edge of the pancake turner (or a fork) as the mixture sets to form the sides to a more vertical orientation away from the sides of the pan.
• Once the mixture is brown (this is the tricky part) place a large plate upside down over the pan.
• Turn the pan upside down, add a little more of the reserved oil, then slide the uncooked side of the potato/eggs back into the pan.
• Continue cooking until browned.
• Flipping the tortilla two or three more times will help give it shape.
• Once cooked, allow to cool several hours and enjoy!
• Cut into one inch pieces and serve as appetizer with toothpicks.

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.

BASQUE-STYLE TORTILLA WITH TUNA AND TAPENADE

Steps:

• Char peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and chop peppers. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and next 4 ingredients. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 25 minutes to blend flavors. Stir in roasted peppers. Increase heat and boil uncovered until juices evaporate, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk eggs, salt and pepper in bowl to blend. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large deep nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat. Add half of eggs; cook without stirring until edges begin to set, about 1 minute. Spread pepper mixture over. Sprinkle tuna over; spoon tapenade over. Pour remaining eggs over. Place in oven and bake until eggs are set, about 12 minutes.
• Run rubber spatula around sides of tortilla to loosen. Slide out onto platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SPANISH TORTILLA WITH TUNA RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until soft and allow them to cool. Sauté the chopped onion and olive oil and allow to cool. (You may also sauté carrots or other vegetables or peppers to enrich the recipe.) In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and black pepper. Add the tuna, cooled potatoes, and onion, and mix gently. Coat a large pan with olive oil and add to low heat on the stove. Turn heat down to medium-high and add the egg, potato, tuna mixture. Continue to cook over low heat until underside is golden and top begins to set. Use a spatula to loosen the bottom and spoon onto a plate. Turn the pan over on the plate and flip over to finish cooking the top side (like you would a frittata or omelet). Plate and cut into wedges. Serve warm or cold. OPTIONAL: Serve with a bit of mayonnaise, ketchup, or aioli.
