Artichoke, Potato, and Serrano Tortilla
- 1 large Idaho potato (about 12 ounces), peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (9-ounce) box frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
- 2 shallots, finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 pound thinly sliced serrano ham, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch ribbons
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 12 extra-large eggs, beaten
- Kosher or fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup shredded tetilla cheese
- 3 bottled roasted piquillo peppers, cut into 1/2-inch ribbons
- Put the cubed potato in a saucepan with enough cold salted water to cover.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- As soon as the water boils, remove the potatoes, drain thoroughly and spread out on baking sheet to air dry.
- Set a rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
- Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the artichoke hearts and cook, tossing, until they are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, then the shallots and the thyme.
- Adjust the heat to low and cook until thyme smells delicious and the shallots soften, about 2 minutes.
- The potatoes should not brown.
- Stir in the ham and toss for another minute, just until it frazzles.
- Scrape the vegetable-ham mixture into a bowl and wipe the pan clean with a wad of paper towels.
- Heat the butter in the pan over medium-high heat until the butter stops foaming.
- Tilt the pan to make sure the bottom and sides are well coated.
- Pour in the eggs.
- Shake the pan while stirring the eggs with a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula.
- Lift the edges of the tortilla as they set, letting the raw eggs run into the empty space.
- Continue until there is no longer any runny egg.
- Spread the vegetables and ham evenly over the soft eggs, season with salt and pepper, lower the heat, and sprinkle with the cheese.
- Put the tortilla under the broiler and broil until golden brown and bubby, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Slide tortilla out of the skillet onto a large platter.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
