Buen Provecho y Buen Camino



Buen Provecho y Buen Camino!

Tortilla Española



Recipe provided by Chef Santos Telles

La Paella Restaurant, Los Angeles
Submitted by Robert Holm, Alameda CA
Another version of a classic Spanish dish long enjoyed in the Holm household…

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cups chopped onions
1½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and
   sliced into ¼ inch rounds
¼ cup water
8 large eggs
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoons pepper
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Chopped fresh parsley


Heat oil in large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onions and thyme.  Sauté until onions are translucent (about five minutes).  Mix in potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Add ¼ cup of water.  Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer until potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes) stirring occasionally.  Uncover and continue simmering to allow any excess water to evaporate.  Cool.  

Preheat broiler. 


Beat eggs in large bowl; add potato mixture and blend. Clean and dry skillet; spray with nonstick spray.  Heat over medium-high heat.  Add potato-egg mixture; cook five minutes flattening top if potatoes are uneven.  Cook three minutes pulling in sides of tortilla to let uncooked egg run to sides.  Cover and cook until almost set (about three minutes). Uncover and move skillet to broiler.  Broil until top is brown (about three minutes). Slide spatula around edges and under tortilla to loosen.  Place large plate atop skillet and invert  tortilla onto plate.  Sprinkle with parsley.✦

Just indulging in all things Buen Camino!
