Tortilla Española BONUS recipe for my friend Jessica

week # 9 Bonus recipe

Hey guys, so the other day I was chatting with my friend, and she asked me to make a recipe with cheap ingredients and hopefully something with lots of eggs ( cause they are cheap... ha) so i'm including this recipe in my blog although it's not the recipe of the week. Tortilla Española, is a typical Spanish dish considered a " Tapa " it's delicious and very easy to make.

What you will need:

- 4 or 6 large eggs depending on how big your pan is.

- 1/2 a cup of milk.

- Lot's of olive oil. ( or vegetable oil )

- About 2 or 3 big potatoes( depending on how big your pan is) cut into thin slices.

- 1 big onion chopped finely and cooked till soft in a pan.

- a couple slices of bacon chopped finely. (optional)

- salt and pepper to taste.

-preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Ok so when you got all your ingredients ready, crack your eggs and beat them with the milk salt and pepper and put a side. After that grab a medium size pan ( hopefully one you can put in the oven) and pour enough olive oil to cover the surface of the pan, be generous but don't exaggerate when the oil starts to heat up add you potatoes, what you want to do is make a layer of potato slice in the pan, making sure almost all the slices touch the oil. Put the thicker slices closer to the oil, season with salt then add your cooked onions over the potatoes, wait about 5 min while the potatoes partially cook in medium heat on the pan, don't move or flip them remember we want a layer.

So after the potatoes have been chillin for a while in the pan add your egg mixture, the trick here is for the eggs to completely cover the potatoes, it should look like a huge pancake, if you can still see the potatoes then beat another egg and pour it in. Let it cook on the stove for a about 3 min or so, maybe 5 and then put it in the oven for about 15 min or until the egg mixture is completely cooked. Ok so the tricky part comes at the end, you have 2 choices you can either be brave and put a plate over the pan and flip the whole thing out, or you can be lazy and just eat it out of the pan. If you do decide taking it out of the pan it will look like a huge thick egg pancake with a layer of golden brown potatoes. Then just cut yourself a slice and eat hot or cold.

Ok guys, so there you have, it a traditional spanish dish that is extremely affordable. This one was for you jesse ;) haha.
