Egg and Potato Chip Tortilla image

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

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs
2 cups coarsely crushed potato chips
2 tablespoons finely chopped serrano ham
2 tablespoons finely chopped piquillo peppers
fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler and position an oven rack 8 inches from the heat.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs.
  • Transfer half of the eggs to another bowl, stir in the crushed potato chips and let stand until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining beaten eggs, serrano ham and piquillo peppers and season with pepper.
  • In a small nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil. Add the egg mixture and cook over moderately high heat until the bottom is set and golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes, or until the top of the tortilla is golden and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Slide the tortilla onto a plate, quarter and serve.
