Potato Tortilla With Artichokes And Red Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the artichokes, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, feta cheese, green onions and pesto until blended. Spread 1/4 cup mixture over each tortilla; top with red peppers and roll up tightly., Place 1 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350° until heated through, 12-15 minutes. Cut into thirds. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sour cream and chives. Serve with rolls.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, artichokes, peppers, olives, cheese and garlic. Drizzle with oil; toss gently to coat. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Toss bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over the top. , Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Put the cubed potato in a saucepan with enough cold salted water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as the water boils, remove the potatoes, drain thoroughly and spread out on baking sheet to air dry.
• Set a rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
• Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the artichoke hearts and cook, tossing, until they are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, then the shallots and the thyme. Adjust the heat to low and cook until thyme smells delicious and the shallots soften, about 2 minutes. The potatoes should not brown. Stir in the ham and toss for another minute, just until it frazzles. Scrape the vegetable-ham mixture into a bowl and wipe the pan clean with a wad of paper towels.
• Heat the butter in the pan over medium-high heat until the butter stops foaming. Tilt the pan to make sure the bottom and sides are well coated. Pour in the eggs. Shake the pan while stirring the eggs with a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula. Lift the edges of the tortilla as they set, letting the raw eggs run into the empty space. Continue until there is no longer any runny egg. Spread the vegetables and ham evenly over the soft eggs, season with salt and pepper, lower the heat, and sprinkle with the cheese.
• Put the tortilla under the broiler and broil until golden brown and bubby, 3 to 4 minutes. Slide tortilla out of the skillet onto a large platter. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onion and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the potato and cook, stirring gently, for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the artichoke hearts and peppers and cook, stirring, for another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the vegetable mixture to a bowl and let cool completely.
• Combine the eggs, chicken broth and a sprinkle of salt in a bowl; beat until just blended.
• Add the cooked vegetables and mix well; let stand for 10 minutes.
• Warm a serving plate in a low oven.
• Heat 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet until it just begins to smoke.
• Add the egg/vegetable mixture.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Cook about 5 minutes until the top of the omelette is a little wet but not liquid, periodically lifting the edges and allowing remaining liquid to run under the portions that have set.
• Turn the tortilla onto the warmed plate, then carefully slide it back into pan to cook the top side, adding more oil first if the skillet is dry.
• Reduce the heat to very low and cook the tortilla a few more minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry.
• Turn the tortilla out onto the warm serving plate, and lightly blot with a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
• Cut into wedges and serve (warm or at room temperature).

Steps:

• Do not peel the potatoes, but wash them well.
• Parboil them for about 20 minutes, then drain and, and when they are cool enough to handle, slice them thickly.
• Switch on the broiler so that it warms up while you prepare the rest of the dish.
• In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil and fry the onion, garlic and peppers over a moderate heat for 5 minutes until softened.
• Add the potatoes and continue frying, stirring from time to time until the potatoes are completely cooked and the vegetables are soft.
• Add a little extra oil if the pan seems rather too dry.
• Pour in half the beaten eggs, then sprinkle over half the grated Cheddar cheese, then the rest of the egg.
• Season with salt and pepper and finish with a layer of cheese.
• Continue to cook over a low heat, without stirring, half covering the pan with a lid to help set the eggs.
• When the mixture is firm, flash the pan under the hot broiler to seal the top just lightly.
• Leave the tortilla in the pan to cool.
• This helps it firm up further and makes it easier to turn out.
• Cut into generous wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Spread potatoes in a heavy flameproof casserole, cover with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spread onion on top. Place over medium-high heat until oil bubbles. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring gently once or twice, until potatoes are tender but not broken, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Place a mesh colander over a heatproof bowl, and drain potatoes and onion, reserving oil. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add potato mixture to eggs and stir gently to combine.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick pan or well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons reserved olive oil. Add one-third of the potato mixture and stir with wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until egg is barely set, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add another one-third of the mixture and stir for 15 seconds. Add remaining third and stir two or three times. Gently pat mixture to flatten it, and allow it sit until the top is loose, the center is somewhat firm and the bottom is firm (pale golden, not golden brown), about 30 seconds.
• Run a spatula around perimeter of tortilla, shaking pan to be sure edges and bottom are free. Place a small flat plate that fits securely inside pan directly on top of tortilla. Wearing a kitchen mitt, grasp handle close to pan. In one quick movement, flip tortilla onto plate.
• Quickly wipe out pan, add 2 tablespoons reserved olive oil, and return pan to medium-low heat until reheated. Slide tortilla back into reheated pan so the bottom is now the top. Pat down to compact layers of potatoes and eliminate air bubbles. When tortilla is set and bottom and edges are free of pan, use spatula or spoon to turn in the edges to give tortilla a more compact, attractive, shape. If desired, tortilla can be allowed to rest for 5 minutes on lowest possible heat, before turning onto a serving plate.
• To serve, slice hot tortilla in large wedges. It may also be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, then served cold with mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain. Drain artichokes, reserving 1/4 cup oil. Drizzle oil in a 12-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet; arrange potatoes and artichokes over oil. Using a potato masher, flatten potatoes to 1/2-in. thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until crispy and golden brown, 20-25 minutes. If desired, top with minced fresh chives.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep 20cm non-stick frying pan. Fry the potatoes, onion and garlic for 10 mins until tender. Stir in the paprika and fry for 1 min more.
• Beat the dried or fresh herbs into the eggs with seasoning, then pour into the pan. Stir a couple of times as the egg starts to set on the bottom of the pan, then leave alone to cook slowly over a very low heat for 10 mins until set, except for the very top.
• Carefully slide the tortilla onto a plate. Slide back into the pan, with the uncooked top now on the bottom, and cook for 1-2 mins more. Garnish with parsley, if using, wrap in foil and serve warm or chilled.
