Tortilla Española with Potato Chips Recipe - Receta de Tortilla Española con Patatas Fritas image

Spaniards love eggs, especially when they are prepared in the form of a tortilla, or omelet. The traditional tortilla has four ingredients - eggs, potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and salt - but we like to be a bit more adventurous and use potato chips instead of regular sliced potatoes.

Categories     Tapas

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 large eggs
4 tbsp José Andrés extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 tsp salt
1 large bag (6.7 oz) José Andrés potato chips, divided

Steps:

  • STEP 1Crack the eggs into a large bowl and mix in salt. Then add 2/3 of the bag of chips and stir, crushing them a little as you blend the eggs together. Allow the mixture to sit until the chips absorb most of the egg, about 5 minutes.STEP 2Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small sauté pan over a medium flame. When the pan is hot, add the egg mixture and stir briskly a few times with a wooden spoon to prevent the eggs from sticking. Shake the pan in a circular motion for 10 seconds to keep the mixture loose as the eggs start to cook. Lower the temperature and cook for one minute more.STEP 3Place a plate over the pan and invert the pan and plate together so the tortilla winds up on the plate, raw side down. If the pan looks dry, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Return the tortilla to the pan by sliding it back in, raw side down. Cook for another 60 seconds, until the bottom has fully set. To us, the perfect tortilla is very creamy and slightly runny in the middle.STEP 4Slide the finished tortilla onto a serving plate and garnish with the remaining chips from the bag. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold - just be sure to garnish right before serving.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 white onion, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 large eggs
1 8.5-ounce bag thick-cut potato chips (about 10 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
  • Meanwhile, beat the eggs and 1 cup water in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly crush the potato chips into the egg mixture and let stand, stirring occasionally, until the chips are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the onion.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat. Add the egg mixture and cook until it begins to set, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are firm and the top is golden and slightly crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 5 minutes, then slide onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

POTATO TORTILLA

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large Idaho or other baking potatoes, peeled and quartered lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise
3 cups delicate-flavored Spanish olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 medium white onion, thinly sliced
4 large eggs
Mayonnaise, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Spread potatoes in a heavy flameproof casserole, cover with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spread onion on top. Place over medium-high heat until oil bubbles. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring gently once or twice, until potatoes are tender but not broken, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Place a mesh colander over a heatproof bowl, and drain potatoes and onion, reserving oil. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add potato mixture to eggs and stir gently to combine.
  • Place an 8-inch nonstick pan or well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons reserved olive oil. Add one-third of the potato mixture and stir with wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until egg is barely set, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add another one-third of the mixture and stir for 15 seconds. Add remaining third and stir two or three times. Gently pat mixture to flatten it, and allow it sit until the top is loose, the center is somewhat firm and the bottom is firm (pale golden, not golden brown), about 30 seconds.
  • Run a spatula around perimeter of tortilla, shaking pan to be sure edges and bottom are free. Place a small flat plate that fits securely inside pan directly on top of tortilla. Wearing a kitchen mitt, grasp handle close to pan. In one quick movement, flip tortilla onto plate.
  • Quickly wipe out pan, add 2 tablespoons reserved olive oil, and return pan to medium-low heat until reheated. Slide tortilla back into reheated pan so the bottom is now the top. Pat down to compact layers of potatoes and eliminate air bubbles. When tortilla is set and bottom and edges are free of pan, use spatula or spoon to turn in the edges to give tortilla a more compact, attractive, shape. If desired, tortilla can be allowed to rest for 5 minutes on lowest possible heat, before turning onto a serving plate.
  • To serve, slice hot tortilla in large wedges. It may also be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, then served cold with mayonnaise.

This is Ferran Adria's recipe, and it is a Spanish tortilla, which is a type of potato cake as opposed to a New World tortilla, which is, of course, a thin, flat corn or wheat flour item which you fill with other ingredients. Please use very thin chips such as Lay's in this recipe for best results. From Food & Wine 2005

3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
6 cups plain kettle-cooked potato chips
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, white pepper, parsley, and chives together until combined.

If the bottom is golden but the eggs are still runny on the top, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the eggs are completely set, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • 3. To serve, invert a large flat plate over the pan and flip the pan and the plate to invert the omelet onto the plate. Let stand for at least 5 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.

POTATO CHIP SPANISH TORTILLA



Potato Chip Spanish Tortilla image

This is based on a recipe from George Duran's book, Take This Dish and Twist It. He says, "Make this recipe more memorable by using thick-cut, gourmet chips and only the freshest eggs." Tip: If the handle of your skillet is made of plastic, simply wrap it with foil before placing it in the oven. Be sure your skillet is oven-safe (it should say so on the bottom of the pan or in the manufacturer's directions).

FERRAN ADRIà'S POTATO CHIP OMELET



Ferran Adrià's Potato Chip Omelet image

This recipe, adapted from the cookbook "The Family Meal: Home Cooking With Ferran Adrià" (Phaidon, 2011), is a study in simplicity. The chef of El Bulli, the famous Spanish restaurant, Mr. Adrià created an omelet reminiscent of a Spanish tortilla that comes together in minutes using only eggs, salted potato chips and olive oil. As with any recipe calling for just a few ingredients, quality truly matters here, so opt for the best potato chips, the finest olive oil and the freshest eggs. There's no need to season the dish with salt, Mr. Adrià advises, since the chips are already salted, but serving the omelet with salt and pepper adds nuance. If you like, add finely sliced chives, a handful of grated Manchego or perhaps a pinch of piment d'Espelette or paprika like a true tortilla Española.

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 large eggs
6 ounces potato chips (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy and lightened in color, about 4 minutes. (If you have a balloon whisk, now is the time to use it: It will aerate better than a standard whisk, and should take half the time and effort. Either way, your arm will burn by the end of this, but a fluffy, puffy omelet will be your reward.)
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to a 10-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium.
  • Add the chips to the eggs. Using a plastic spatula, gently fold a few times to ensure chips are coated. Let the chips soak for 1 minute.
  • Pour the mixture into the skillet, using the spatula to spread the potatoes into an even layer, then to loosen the omelet from the sides of the pan.
  • After the bottom of the omelet is just about set - it should barely take on color but the top isn't completely set - 3 to 4 minutes, cover the omelet with an upside-down plate or a large, flat lid. Holding one hand flat against the plate and holding the skillet by its handle, gently flip over the omelet to release it onto the plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, then carefully slide the omelet from the plate, uncooked-side-down, into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate, slice and serve immediately.

SHRIMP AND POTATO CHIP TORTILLA



Shrimp and Potato Chip Tortilla image

Categories     Salad     Potato     Side     Dinner     Shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs
Kosher or sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon pimenton (smoked Spanish paprika)
1 (1-ounce) bag potato chips, preferably kettle-cooked and lightly salted
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 medium shallot lobe, thinly sliced
Leaves from 4 or 5 sprigs cilantro, chopped
4 or 5 medium shrimp (about 2 ounces), peeled, deveined, and halved crosswise

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, a light sprinkling of salt and pepper, and the pimenton.
  • Lightly crush the potato chips in the bag. Stir them into the eggs and let the mixture sit until the potato chips are soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour 2 teaspoons of the oil into a very small skillet over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is soft and starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shallot to a plate to cool.
  • When cool, stir the shallot into the egg mixture. Stir in the cilantro and shrimp until thoroughly combined.
  • With the skillet still over medium heat, pour in the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. When it starts to shimmer, pour in the tortilla mixture. Let it cook undisturbed for a minute or two, then shake the pan back and forth and run a thin spatula around the edges of the tortilla. If there is loose, runny egg, lift an edge of the tortilla with the spatula and tilt the pan to let the liquid egg run underneath. Cook until the top of the tortilla is still wet but no longer a runny liquid, 3 to 5 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the pan. Run the spatula around the edges of the tortilla and then all the way underneath it to make sure the bottom is not sticking.
  • If your spatula is large enough, use it to flip the tortilla in the pan. Alternatively, take a plate slightly larger than the skillet, and invert it on top of the skillet. Using oven mitts, grab both sides of the skillet, also holding the plate, and quickly and decisively turn both skillet and plate upside down, inverting the tortilla onto the plate and removing the skillet.
  • If the skillet looks dry, add another teaspoon or so of olive oil, and when it starts to shimmer, slide the tortilla back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Shake the skillet to straighten the tortilla, decrease the heat to low, and continue cooking until a skewer inserted into the center comes out dry, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Invert the tortilla onto a plate again, let it cool for a few minutes, and eat.

Tips for Making Potato Chip Tortilla:

  • Use Fresh Potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh potatoes as the base for your tortilla chips.
  • Slice Potatoes Thinly: When slicing the potatoes, make sure they are all about the same thickness so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a Mandoline: A mandoline is a great tool for slicing potatoes thinly and evenly. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife, but be careful to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible.
  • Soak the Potato Slices: Soaking the potato slices in water for 30 minutes helps to remove the starch and prevents them from sticking together when frying.
  • Season the Potato Slices: Before frying, season the potato slices with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chips.
  • Fry the Potato Slices in Hot Oil: Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the potato slices. This will help to ensure that the chips cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When frying the potato slices, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Drain the Potato Slices on Paper Towels: After frying, drain the potato slices on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the Potato Chip Tortilla Immediately: Potato chip tortilla is best served immediately after frying. This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Potato chip tortilla is a quick and easy snack or appetizer that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. These chips are a fun and delicious way to enjoy potatoes, and they can also be used as a base for other dishes, such as nachos or tacos. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your potato chip tortilla is crispy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
