Spanish Tortilla (Tapas)
- 12 cup Spanish olive oil
- 1 12 lbs potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (600g)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 6 large eggs
- salt
- pepper
- fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped, to garnish
- Heat a nonstick 10-inch skillet over high heat.
- Add the olive oil.
- Reduce the heat, then add the potatoes and onion and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Drain the potatoes and onion while at the same time keeping the residual oil.
- Carefully stir the vegetables into the eggs, then let stand for 10 minutes.
- With a wooden spoon or spatula, remove any crusty bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
- Reheat the skillet over medium heat with 4 tablespoons of the reserved oil.
- Add the egg mixture and smooth the surface, pressing the potatoes and onions into an even layer.
- Cook for 5 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the bottom is set.
- Use a spatula to loosen the side of the tortilla.
- Place a large plate over the top and carefully invert the skillet and plate together so the tortilla drops onto the plate.
- Prepare the skillet by coating it with a tablespoon of the remaining reserved oil.
- Carefully slide the tortilla back into the skillet, cooked-side up.
- Run the spatula around the tortilla, to tuck in the edge.
- Continue cooking for 3 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the base is golden brown.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and slide the tortilla onto a plate.
- Rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
