Spanish Tortilla

Spanish Tortilla

The Spanish tortilla is similar to a frittata filled with onion and potato goodness. Spanish tortilla is a staple in my house, especially when I don’t have much to make for dinner and want something filling and quick to prepare. The recipe uses ingredients that are pantry staples for me, including eggs, potatoes, and onions. I like to serve tortilla with a simple aioli and a green salad.

Ingredients
⅓ cups extra virgin olive oil
1 pounds yukon gold potatoes thinly sliced
1 small onions julienned
6 large eggs
1 teaspoons sea salt
¼ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

I have made this successfully in my cast iron pan a couple times now. The plenteous olive oil probably helps. Even though it takes some time in the kitchen, the prep work went quickly.

This WAS a lot of work but, very tasty, especially with the aioli. We eat a lot of potatoes, so it’s nice to have different ways to prepare them.
