tortilla espanola (spanish potato omelet)
|
| |
| tortilla espanola (its relation to mexican tortillas comes solely from it |
| round shape) is among the most popular dishes in spain. although its |
| ingredients couldn't be more basic--potatoes, eggs, onions, and |
| oil--they're combined and cooked in a way that makes this dish |
| irresistible and versatile. the potatoes are normally fried, but we've |
| roasted them with excellent results. unlike american omelets, this one's |
| best made several hours ahead then served at room temperature. |
| |
| 6 cup | thinly sliced peeled baking potato (about 3 pounds) |
| 2 cup | thinly sliced sweet onion |
| | cooking spray |
| 2 Tbsp | olive oil, divided |
| 3/4 tsp | kosher salt, divided |
| 4 large | eggs |
| | oregano sprigs (optional) |
| |
| preheat oven to 350 . |
| place the potato and onion in a roasting pan coated with cooking spray. |
| drizzle with 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 |
| teaspoon salt. toss well. bake at 350 for 1 hour or until potatoes are |
| tender, stirring occasionally with a metal spatula to prevent sticking. |
| combine eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. stir in potato |
| mixture; let stand 10 minutes. heat 1 teaspoon oil in an 8-inch nonstick |
| skillet over medium heat. pour potato mixture into pan (pan will be very |
| full). cook 7 minutes or until almost set, gently shaking pan frequently. |
| place a plate upside down on top of omelet; invert onto plate. carefully |
| slide omelet cooked side up into pan; cook 3 minutes or until set, gently |
| shaking pan occasionally. carefully loosen omelet with a spatula; gently |
| slide omelet onto a plate. cool. cut into wedges. garnish with oregano, if |
| desired. |
