Mushroom-Infused Spanish Tortilla
Whether you serve it for brunch, lunch or a light dinner, the Spanish Tortilla is an impressive dish with humble ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. This recipe features thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes, sweet onions, and a mushroom-infused olive oil for an earthy twist.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Wash and dry potatoes. Thinly cut into ¼-inch slices. You can use a mandolin to ensure even slicing. Thinly slice onion and set aside.
- Step 2
Heat mushroom-infused olive oil in an 8-inch oven-safe skillet. Once heated, fry potato slices in single-layer batches, until browned but still soft. Drain potatoes on a paper towel-lined plate and continue until all potatoes are cooked.
- Step 3
Remove all but 1 tablespoon oil from the skillet and cook sliced onion for 3 to 5 minutes, until translucent.
- Step 4
Spread the onions evenly around the bottom of the skillet and layer on potato slices, overlaying in a circular pattern from the outside in, until the onions are covered with a single layer. Sprinkle on about ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt.
- Step 5
Repeat with a second layer of potatoes, until all potatoes are in the skillet, seasoning with another ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt on each layer. You should end up with 2 to 3 layers of potato.
- Step 6
Add 6 eggs, 1 teaspoon water and ½ teaspoon fine sea salt to a large bowl and whisk until well combined. Slowly and evenly pour the egg mixture into the skillet, over medium heat.
- Step 7
Shake the skillet to ensure even distribution of the eggs. Once eggs are starting to set on the edges, use a spatula to gently lift around the edges, ensuring more egg liquid is distributed on the bottom of the pan.
- Step 8
Place skillet in the oven, under the broiler, and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, until the top begins to brown and eggs are completely set. Use a towel or pot holder to remove the pan from the oven, and sit on the stovetop to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Step 9
Once slightly cooled, place a plate over the top of the skillet and carefully flip over to release the tortilla from the skillet.
- Step 10
Cut into slices and serve with crispy mushrooms to garnish, as desired. Leftovers store well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
