Best Spanish Style Potato And Onion Frittata Recipes

TORTILLA ESPAñOLA (POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Peel the potatoes and slice thinly (about 1/4 inch thick) using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, or cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Place the cut potatoes into a bowl and cover them with salted water. Soak for about 15 minutes.
• Slice the onion thinly.
• In a large, deep, nonstick, ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until the onion is soft, fragrant, and turning golden.
• Drain the potatoes and pat them dry.
• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Reserve the bowl.
• Add the potatoes to the onion in the skillet.
• Cover and cook the potatoes over low heat until tender, stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking to the pan and burning.
• In the reserved large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream, seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Pour the cream and egg mixture over the potatoes and onion in the skillet. Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over the eggs and potatoes, if using.
• Cook the mixture over low heat until the eggs seem mostly set, being careful not to burn them, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Carefully flip the frittata by turning a plate upside down over the skillet.
• Turn the skillet over so the frittata falls onto the now right-side-up plate.
• Slide the frittata from the plate back into the skillet so the browned side is facing up and cook over low heat for a few more minutes.
• Cut the tortilla into wedges to serve.

POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Steam the potatoes until tender, about eight minutes, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet, and add the onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about five minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan, and toss together gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season generously with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper. Stir in the potatoes and onions.
• Return the pan to the stove, and heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Drizzle in a drop of egg; when it sizzles and cooks at once, scrape the eggs and vegetables back into the pan. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata, and tilt the pan to let egg run underneath and set. When the bottom of the frittata has set, turn the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook gently for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the broiler.
• Uncover the pan, and slide under the broiler for a minute or two (watch closely) to set the top. Remove from the heat. Let the tortilla set in the pan for a few minutes, then slide out onto a serving plate. Allow to cool to room temperature, and cut into small diamonds to serve as hors d'oeuvres.

POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Place potatoes in medium saucepan with enough water to cover by one inch. Bring to a boil, then gently boil potatoes, until tender when pierced with knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and let cool. Peel and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add cheese, parsley, salt and pepper, and whisk until blended.
• Preheat oven to 350°F In large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, 1 minute. Add butter and reduce heat to medium-low. Add potatoes and mix. Slowly pour eggs into pan; do not stir. Cook, undisturbed, 2 minutes.
• Transfer skillet to oven and bake until eggs are cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit 2 minutes, then loosen with spatula and slide onto serving plate. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.

SWEET POTATO AND KALE SPANISH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Heat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the pan and warm. Add the sweet potato, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions and potatoes are beginning to brown and the potatoes are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the kale and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the kale is wilted and tender, about 3 minutes.
• Season the eggs with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella. Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the mixture, making sure all the potatoes are coated in the egg and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cook on the stove for about 3 minutes to set the bottom. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until golden brown and set, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Run a thin knife along the edges and cut into 16 squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
