Spanish Organic Potato Tortilla
Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
-
500g organic Dutch cream potatoes, peeled and finely sliced into 3-5ml thick rounds
-
1 brown onion, finely sliced
-
1 tsp salt
-
250ml olive oil
-
250ml canola oil
-
5 eggs
Garlic Paprika Cream
-
170g cream cheese
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
1 pinch salt
-
¼ tsp cracked pepper
-
1 garlic clove
-
1/3 cup milk
-
100g mixed salad leaves
Method:
-
Place the potatoes, onions and salt into a bowl. Toss and set aside for 10 minutes. Drain the excess liquid from the potatoes and discard it.
-
Place the olive oil and canola oil into a medium saucepan and place over medium heat until it reaches approximately 120-130°C.
-
Add the potatoes and onion to the oil and gently poach them for 15-20 minutes until soften, drain well and place on a plate to cool (reserve the oil for future cooking).
-
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, gently fold them through trying not to break them as they should be very tender.
-
Place a small 20-22cm non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Drizzle in 1 tsp of the reserved oil and add the potato egg mix, flatten evenly with a wooden spoon and place on a lid. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes to create a golden crust on the base.
-
Remove the lid and put a plate on top of the pan. Carefully flip it over onto the plate and place it back to the pan. Put the lid on and cook for 5 minutes on medium low heat. Until browned all over.
-
Turn off the heat, flip the tortilla over again and let it rest for 10 minutes to set.
-
To make the Garlic Paprika Cream: Add the ingredients into a container, blitz together with a stick blender, until combined.
-
Slice the Spanish Tortilla and serve with mixed leaves and the Garlic Paprika Cream.
