Truita de Creïlles (Creamy Potato Omelette)

★★☆☆☆
Prep: 15 mins Cook: 20 mins Serves: 5 Source: Paella with Jordi, Valencian Chef

Ingredients

  • 400g starchy or general-purpose potatoes, peeled
  • 80g white onion (optional)
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (44.4 ml)
  • 6g salt
  • 4 medium eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (convection). Slice potatoes into 5mm segments, onions into 1cm pieces.
  2. Mix potato, onion, oil, and salt. Spread on oven tray. Bake 10 minutes, stir, bake 5 more minutes until edges brown and tender.
  3. Roughly beat eggs so yolk and whites aren't completely blended.
  4. Transfer baked vegetables into eggs; crush with fork (creates creamier tortilla).
  5. Preheat non-stick pan (16-18cm) to medium-high. Pour mixture in, quickly stir outside to inside, flatten.
  6. Cover, cook 2 minutes over low heat. Flip onto plate, slide back in for second side.
  7. Cook until inside feels runny (check with knife). Remove — residual heat will continue cooking. Adjust in microwave if too runny.
Wine Pairing: Light White (Verdejo) — Spanish white with traditional Spanish tortilla
