FFWD - Basque Potato Tortilla



First - my apologizes for the crappy picture! This was part of dinner and I was rushing around trying to feed people and didn't have much time to 'style' a pic and the lighting wasn't cooperating.
This week's French Fridays with Dorie selection was Basque Potato Tortilla. I have had the good fortune to visit the lovely city of Barcelona twice. Both times, the hotels I stayed in had a similiar tortilla to this on the breakfast buffet. Preparing and tasting this dish immediately took me back to those visits. I can't wait to return someday!
While not exactly quick, this is easy to prepare. I particularly enjoyed the subtle flavor the garlic and rosemary added to the potatoes. I did cook this a bit long on the stovetop and the bottom was overcooked, but still delicious. My husband wasn't expecting to like it but ended up eating an entire slice and commented on how good it would be with ham. I agree and plan on making this again!
Pin It!

  2. I liked how easy it was to prepare. I made the mushroom version, and that probably went a lot quicker than the potato one. Great post!

  6. I agree - a trip to Barcelona should follow making this. This was fairly simple - although a little time consuming...

  8. Because it was so easy, I thought it would be quicker. Oh well. It was tasty though. I visited a different part of Spain and remember having tortilla at a tapas bar. Yum!

  9. I have never been to Spain (nor to Oklahoma, LOL), but I cannot imagine anything better that enjoying Basque Tortilla in Barcelona. Lucky girl, you!
    I made the basic recipe, and it was easy and good. Next time I'll add more spices and herbs, just to give it another level of taste.
