Best Spanish Tortilla With Sweet Potatoes Recipes

EASY SPANISH TORTILLA ESPANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, paprika, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and just starting to turn brown, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar until absorbed. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
• Whisk together the eggs, 1/2 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Add the potato chips and cooled onions and stir to combine. Let sit for a few minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium-high heat, then add the potato and egg mixture and cook, until the bottom and the sides set and are a light golden brown, about 3 minutes (use a rubber spatula to help pull and peek around the sides). Transfer to the oven and bake until set, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly in the pan, then slide out onto a cutting board and cut into 12 wedges. Serve at room temperature.

SWEET POTATO SPANISH TORTILLA WITH SAGE WALNUT PESTO

Steps:

• Sage Walnut Pesto: Start by making the pesto. Place the sage leaves, walnuts, and crushed garlic in a food processor or high speed blender. Process on low to allow everything to be broken down into little shreds. Add the olive oil, lemon, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a few grinds of pepper and process again until well combined, but still rustic looking. Taste for salt and olive oil, and add more if necessary.
• Sweet Potato Spanish Tortilla: Turn on the broiler. Heat a tablespoon of ghee in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes in an even layer. Once you've finished layering them, approximately 2 minutes later, begin stirring the potatoes so that they flip and cook evenly. Add the onions and continue to cook until both the potatoes and onions are just soft. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and pepper. Remove the sweet potato and onion mixture to a plate.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, and salt and pepper together in a medium bowl.
• Meanwhile melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of ghee in the pan, being sure to coat the sides. Add that potato-onion mixture back in, in as even a layer as you can.
• Pour the egg mixture over top, gently lifting the potatoes from around the sides of the pan to allow the egg to get into all the crevices. As the tortilla begins to turn, you want to continuously run a small spatula along the side of the tortilla, tilting the pan so that the egg can run under. Alternate this with flattening the mixture down gently with your spatula.
• Once the tortilla is just about set, take the pan and place it under the broiler. Cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until set set, but not browned. Take it out and top with the optional goat cheese, if using. Place under the broiler again for another minute or two until browned, but not burned. If you're not using the goat cheese, just keep the pan under the broiler for another minute or two until browned, but not burned.
• Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
• You should be able to lift the whole thing right out of the pan.
• Top with a sprinkling of parsley and a dollop of sage walnut pesto.
