Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 6 Eggs
- 1 medium Yellow Onion
- 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Baguette
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes and onion. The slices should be approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onion, ensuring they're fully submerged in the oil. Cook gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes and onions from the oil, draining off excess oil. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl and season with salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and then pour them over the potatoes and onions. Mix gently until combined.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour the egg and potato mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly.
Cook the tortilla for 8-10 minutes or until the bottom is set and golden brown. Flip the tortilla carefully using a large plate to assist, then slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes.
Remove the tortilla from the heat and let it cool slightly before slicing it into rectangle or square portions to match the size of your baguette slices.
Slice the baguette into thin, diagonal slices and toast each slice lightly. Once toasted, rub each slice with a cut garlic clove for added flavor.
Place a piece of tortilla de patatas on each toasted baguette slice. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve the montaditos warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
