SIMPLE SUPPER: SPANISH TORTILLA WITH CHORIZO
Steps:
- In an 8-inch skillet that's 1 1/2 inches deep, heat two-thirds of the olive oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, add potatoes, and cook for 10 minutes. Add onions, season with salt, and cook for 10 minutes more. Stir in chorizo, garlic, and parsley, being careful not to crush potatoes; cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl to cool slightly.
- Lightly oil a large plate; set aside. Wipe skillet clean using paper towels; heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, gently mix eggs into cooled potato mixture; add mixture to pan. Cook until eggs are half cooked, gently pulling edge of tortilla toward the center so any uncooked liquid runs underneath. Let sit, untouched, over low heat until underside of tortilla is almost cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Slide tortilla onto oiled plate, and invert back into pan; cook until both sides are cooked and the center is still soft. Slide tortilla onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Return the pan over medium heat.
- Whisk together the eggs in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the cheese, parsley, peppers and chorizo and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a heavy 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add potatoes and onion, and season with salt. Cover, and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes and onion to a bowl. Add chorizo to skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Transfer chorizo and pan drippings to potato-onion mixture. Reserve skillet.
- Add eggs to potato-onion mixture, and season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat skillet with more oil if needed, and heat over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture; stir to combine and press to flatten. Cook, running a flexible spatula around the edges occasionally, until edges set and center is slightly runny, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Place a plate, upside down, over skillet, and invert tortilla onto plate. Slide tortilla, cooked side up, back into skillet. Cook over low heat until completely set in the center, 3 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate, and let cool slightly before cutting into squares or wedges.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and won't become too mushy.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't crowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can brown evenly.
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
- Flip the tortilla carefully: When it's time to flip the tortilla, use a large spatula and slide it carefully under the tortilla. Then, place a plate over the skillet and quickly flip the tortilla onto the plate. Then, slide the tortilla back into the skillet to cook the other side.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Tortilla can be served with a variety of toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese.
Conclusion:
Spanish tortilla is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
