SPANISH-STYLE POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA



Spanish-Style Potato and Onion Frittata image

Spain has one of my favorite omelets made from potatoes, cheese and onions called a "tortilla." Not to be confused with a Mexican tortilla, a Spanish tortilla is like the perfect mash-up of a baked potato and scrambled eggs. The Spanish serve it like an appetizer, but I love making it into an omelet. The key is to season every layer with salt and pepper at each stage. Small yellow potatoes are a bit more work to peel and dice, but they're sweeter than larger russet potatoes.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan, divided
1 pound (454 grams) yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into small dice
4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) extra virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup (30 grams) shredded mozzarella or other melting cheese
Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven in broiler mode and place a rack 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 centimeters) below the heating element.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 cup (25 grams) of the Parmesan cheese.
  • Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, then toss with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 9 minutes total, or until fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and the butter over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch (25-centimeter) omelet pan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Pour the reserved egg mixture into the pan over the potatoes and onions. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata; repeat until the eggs start to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the stove to low and sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup (25 grams) of Parmesan over the top of the frittata.
  • Once the frittata is mostly set, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the heat and let the tortilla rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with some sour cream, if desired.

SMOKY SPANISH POTATOES AND EGGS



Smoky Spanish Potatoes and Eggs image

Provided by Kendra Vaculin

Categories     Dinner     Breakfast     Brunch     Lunch     Chile Pepper     Hot Pepper     Potato     Egg     Tomato     Peanut Free     Dairy Free     Soy Free     Tree Nut Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 2-3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. olive oil, divided
1½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes (about 3 medium), cut into 1-inch pieces
1¾ tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2-3 chiles from a can of chiles in adobo, depending on your preferred spice level, roughly chopped, plus 2 Tbsp. sauce from the can
1 medium tomato, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
½ tsp. smoked paprika
½ tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
Chopped parsley and mayonnaise, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Place potatoes on a sheet pan and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and season with 1 tsp. kosher salt. Toss to coat. Spread into an even layer and roast, tossing halfway through, until tender and starting to brown, 25 minutes.
  • While the potatoes roast, in a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chiles, sauce, tomato paste, paprika, and cumin and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are coated and the mixture has darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat and immediately add sherry vinegar; scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan and stir to combine.
  • Transfer the onion-chiles mixture to a food processor or blender (reserve the pan; there's no need to wash it). Add the tomato and season with black pepper and ¾ tsp. salt. Pulse, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed, until the mixture forms a mostly smooth, thick paste.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Transfer roasted potatoes to the reserved skillet; add the sauce and stir to thoroughly coat. Use a spoon or spatula to create three wells in the potato mixture; drizzle 2 tsp. olive oil between the three wells. Crack an egg into each well and season with salt and pepper. Bake until the whites of the eggs are set but the yolk is still runny, about 6-8 minutes. Top with chopped parsley and mayonnaise before serving.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-boiled potatoes. You can boil them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or you can buy them pre-boiled from the store.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular non-stick skillet. Just be sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before adding the eggs and potatoes.
  • Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs and potatoes as they cook. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • If you like your frittata crispy, cook it for a few minutes longer on each side. If you prefer it soft and gooey, cook it for a shorter amount of time.
  • Serve the frittata immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

A Spanish potato and egg frittata is a simple yet delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes and eggs, and it's also a very affordable meal. With its colorful and flavorful ingredients, this frittata is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
