The Spanish tortilla, also known as a Spanish omelette, is a traditional dish originating from Spain. This Tortilla Eespanola is filled with thinly sliced potatoes and onions poached in olive oil, then combined with eggs and fresh herbs. It's a simple yet delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course.
INGREDIENTS
- 2.5 lbs Russet Potatoes, sliced thinly
- 1 Sweet onion, roughly sliced
- 3 cups Olive Oil
- 6 eggs
- 2 tsps Smoked Paprika
- 4 cloves Garlic, diced
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp Fresh Dill, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh Basil, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
- Thinly slice potatoes and roughly slice onion. Heat oil in an 8 inch Premier Nonstick skillet and gently place potatoes and onions in skillet ensuring that they are covered with oil. Cook over medium low heat for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender, but not mushy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg, smoked paprika, diced garlic, salt and pepper to taste, thyme, dill, and basil.
- Strain potatoes from oil and allow the oil to drain off. Let the potatoes and onions cool for about 5 minutes. Remove the oil from the pan into a heat safe container.
- Add potatoes and onions to the egg mixture and fold together with a silicone spatula. Be sure not to break the potatoes. Some will inevitably break, however, the goal is to coat the potatoes with the eggs.
- Add 3-4 tbsps of oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add egg/potato mixture back into the pan and allow this to cook for 12 minutes, occasionally using a knife to poke the sides to ensure the tortilla isn't adhering to the pan.
- Broil in the oven for 2-5 minutes, until the top of the tortilla is crispy and golden.
