I was amazed at how they make their tortilla with a few simple ingredients: eggs, potatoes, olive oil, and salt. It might look easy to cook an omelet, but it takes a lot of practice to cook omelets as well as they do at El Manjar. This recipe is inspired by theirs—and it’s well worth the effort to master.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   • 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons Spanish extra-virgin olive oil \u003cbr\u003e   • 1\/2 pound russet potatoes, peeled, quartered, and thinly sliced \u003cbr\u003e   • 6 large eggs \u003cbr\u003e   • 1 teaspoon sea salt \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeat 3 cups of the olive oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat until it measures 250°F on a candy thermometer. Fry the potatoes until golden brown, about 20 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to paper towels to drain.\u003cbr\u003e Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs in a large bowl with the salt. You want them to incorporate a lot of air so they fluff up. Add the cooked potatoes to the beaten eggs and let sit for 1 minute. \u003cbr\u003e Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch sauté pan over high heat. Once the oil begins to smoke slightly, remove the pan from the heat and pour in the egg-potato mixture. Return the sauté pan to the stovetop and reduce the heat to low. The tortilla will puff up like a soufflé. Once it begins to set and the edges turn golden brown, flip the tortilla: Place a plate over the pan and invert the pan and plate together so the tortilla ends up on the plate, uncooked side down; slide the tortilla back into the pan, uncooked side down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMake a small hole in the center of the tortilla to allow the egg in the center to cook. Once the tortilla sets, flip the tortilla back over and allow the center hole to close. Transfer the tortilla to a platter, cut into wedges, and serve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompanion to the Public Television Series","brand":"Clarkson Potter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303414386917,"sku":"NP9780307382634","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780307382634.jpg?v=1767732041","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/made-in-spain-isbn-9780307382634","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
