Tortilla a la Espanola
For 4
6 eggs, beaten
1 pound potato, peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced thin
1/2 medium onion, halved and sliced thin
1 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper
Preheat broiler. Heat olive oil in an small 8 inch non stick pan over medium
heat. Add onions and potatoes and cook in oil for 5 minutes or until
potatoes are cooked through but not broken apart. Drain onion and
potatoes and place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Reserve excess oil
for another use. Return the same pan to the stove top over medium high
heat. Pour eggs into pan and then fold in the cooked potato, onion mixture.
Mix potatoes ans onion mixture evenly into the eggs. Season with salt and
pepper. With a rubber spatula, gently, pull the edges of the cooking eggs
toward the center of the pan allowing the top layer of uncooked egg to
move to the bottom. After a few minutes the tortilla will begin to set and
the bottom will start to brown. Remove from stove top and place on the
middle or lower rack of oven and broil for a few minutes or until the top
has browned nicely and the tortilla feels firm all the way through. Take out
of the oven and invert, bottom side up, on a plate, then, invent top side up
on another plate. Allow to cool and cut into 4 pieces. Serve at room
temperature or cold.
