Inspired by my husband’s love of Spain, I present to you my Spanish Tortilla! (Spanish tortillas are very similar to frittatas but with potatoes.) This tortilla is filled with potatoes, onions, pepper, spices, and cut up hot dog to give it that smokey, salty taste. Yum!
What’s great about this dish is that it’s perfect for easy entertaining. You can make it the day before, then serve it hot or cold. Plus, it works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! And it’s delicious!!
SPANISH TORTILLA
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the potatoes in half, then quarter. Boil for about 10 minutes, or until they just start to soften. Strain the water and set aside.
Put a cast iron or over safe 12 inch skillet over medium heat. Add the the 3 tablespoons of olive oil, thinly sliced hot dogs, salt, diced onion, red pepper, and minced garlic clove. Stir until onions start to soften, than add the potatoes. Stir gently (so as not to break the potatoes) until they are cooked through. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Whisk the 12 eggs in a bowl, and pour into the skillet. Stir occasionally, pulling the cooked bottom up. When it starts to solidify, but is still a little runny, move the pan to the oven. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, just until the top starts to brown.
Cut into slices, garnish with a little cilantro, and serve!
