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.

SPANISH TORTILLA FRITTATA



Spanish Tortilla Frittata image

This Spanish Tortilla Frittata Recipe is a hybrid of the classic Spanish dish with onions and egg, and an Italian frittata. It's a delicious and filling recipe for breakfast!

Provided by Joanne Ozug

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tbsp olive oil
1 softball sized onion (chopped)
1 russet potato (thinly sliced)
8 large eggs
1/2 cup packed manchego cheese
2 tbsp cream
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat, and add the onions. Cook the onions for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent. Pour the cooked onions into a large mixing bowl, and return the skillet to the stove.
  • Spread the potato slices evenly around the skillet, making sure to season each individual layer of potatoes with a pinch of salt. You will likely have enough potato slices for two layers of potato. Place a lid on the skillet and let the potatoes cook for 10 minutes, until the potato slices are soft and cooked through.
  • In the meantime, add the eggs, manchego cheese, heavy cream, and 1/4 tsp salt to the mixing bowl with the cooked onions. Whisk to combine, then pour this mixture all over the cooked potatoes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the center of the frittata no longer jiggles. Cut the frittata into slices, and enjoy!

Spanish Frittata with Herby Yogurt and Greens image

The potatoes are what make this the love child of a Spanish tortilla and an Italian frittata. But you don't necessarily need them. Fill this frittata with 2 cups of whatever leftover cooked vegetables you have in your fridge and drop "Spanish" from the name. Serve with a crisp green salad.
