Spanish Tortilla with Garlic & EVOO Aioli

INGREDIENTS

Spanish Tortilla:
  • 3 pounds of waxy potatoes sliced ⅛" thick, such as Yukon or Red
  • 9 large eggs, beaten 
  • 1 large sweet onion, sliced thin
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Sea salt & fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Garlic Aioli:

DIRECTIONS

Spanish Tortilla:

Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a 12" cast iron skillet. Add sliced onions and sauté until light brown in color, then add the thyme and saute for another minute. With a slotted spoon, remove the onions and thyme and mix them in to the beaten eggs. Season the egg-onion mixture with sea salt and pepper.

Heat the oven to 375°F. 

With the oil remaining in the skillet, lightly season potato slices with a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper. Layer the slices in concentric circles at the bottom of the skillet. Continue layering until all potatoes are used. Brown the bottom layer of potatoes over medium-high high for 2 minutes, being careful not to burn the potatoes. Pour in the egg-onion mixture over the potatoes and cover the skillet with a lid. Place the covered skillet in to the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the egg layer on top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.

Invert the tortilla on to a platter and serve warm or allow to cool to room temperature.  Serve with aioli.     

Garlic Ailoi:

Add egg yolks and sea salt to the bowl of a food processor or in to a blender. While processing, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides if necessary. Once all the oil has been added, pour in the lemon juice and process until combined. Season to taste.
