Basque Potato Tortilla
This week, the
French Fridays with Dorie group made
Basque Potato Tortilla from Dorie Greenspan's cookbook
Around my French Table.My friend's dad is Ecuadorian and grew up with eating tortillas that are basically egg and potato omelets - it is definitely a meal in itself. So, when he went to a Mexican restaurant here in Los Angeles many years ago, he ordered a tortilla.
How many, sir? He, of course, answers "one" because he isn't a competitive eater. Imagine his surprise when a little flat corn tortilla arrived. This story always makes me chuckle.
So, when you see
Tortilla in this title, know that it's a
Spanish tortilla and not a corn or flour tortilla you might see at the grocery store! :)
I used a sweet potato because I was too lazy to go to the store to get a regular potato! Well, it turned out great! I also added some spinach leaves to the onion, sweet potato and eggs. I made about 1/2 the recipe in a smaller pan and used 3 whole eggs and one egg white. After the eggs set, you pop it into the broiler for a few minutes to get that absolutely delicious and beautiful brown topping. The broiler rocks it.
Be sure to check out my fellow French Fridays with Dorie members and
see their creations!
