Spanish Tortilla is a classic Spanish dish that highlights the simple, delicious combination of Melissa’s Dutch Yellow® Potatoes, sweet onions, and eggs. Thinly sliced potatoes and onions are gently fried until golden, then folded into a seasoned egg mixture and cooked into a perfectly tender, savory tortilla.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (High quality) – for frying
1 ½ pounds Melissa’s Dutch Yellow® Potatoes – thinly sliced
1 Melissa’s Perfect Sweet Onion – peeled; thinly sliced
11 large Eggs
1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/8 teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Fresh Chives – for garnish
Rinse the potatoes in cold water and pat dry.
Heat the olive oil in a high-sided pan. When the oil is hot, add the potatoes and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Let cool for 15 minutes.
Next, add the onions to the oil and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove them and place them on a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Let cool for 15 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Whisk in the salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir in the potatoes and onions.
Place 1 Tbsp. of the frying oil into a hot frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the frying pan and cook until the bottom is set, about 30 minutes. Carefully slide the tortilla onto a plate. Place another plate over the tortilla and flip. Slide it back into the pan and cook until completely set, about 2 minutes.
Slide the tortilla onto a plate, cut into wedges, and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
