Receta de Tortilla Española con Patatas Fritas - Tortilla Española with Potato Chips Recipe

Ingredients

• 8large eggs
• 4tbsp José Andrés extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 1tsp salt
• 1large bag (6.7 oz) José Andrés potato chips, divided

Preparation

STEP 1

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and mix in salt. Then add 2/3 of the bag of chips and stir, crushing them a little as you blend the eggs together. Allow the mixture to sit until the chips absorb most of the egg, about 5 minutes.

STEP 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small sauté pan over a medium flame. When the pan is hot, add the egg mixture and stir briskly a few times with a wooden spoon to prevent the eggs from sticking. Shake the pan in a circular motion for 10 seconds to keep the mixture loose as the eggs start to cook. Lower the temperature and cook for one minute more.

STEP 3

Place a plate over the pan and invert the pan and plate together so the tortilla winds up on the plate, raw side down. If the pan looks dry, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Return the tortilla to the pan by sliding it back in, raw side down. Cook for another 60 seconds, until the bottom has fully set. To us, the perfect tortilla is very creamy and slightly runny in the middle.

STEP 4

Slide the finished tortilla onto a serving plate and garnish with the remaining chips from the bag. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold – just be sure to garnish right before serving.
