GRILLED POTATOES AND ONION
Always cook up a package of potatoes and onions with the rest of your grilled meal! Start early, because it takes about a half an hour to cook. These cook over indirect heat (off to the side), so you can grill other things at the same time.

POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA
This dish is based on the classic omelet of Spain, tortilla española. In the authentic dish, the potatoes are fried, and most recipes call for copious amounts of oil. In this version, I steam the potatoes to cut down on oil and use a waxier variety of potato with a lower glycemic index. Waxier potatoes also have a better texture when steamed instead of fried.

Steps:
- Steam the potatoes until tender, about eight minutes, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet, and add the onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about five minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan, and toss together gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season generously with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper. Stir in the potatoes and onions.
- Return the pan to the stove, and heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Drizzle in a drop of egg; when it sizzles and cooks at once, scrape the eggs and vegetables back into the pan. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata, and tilt the pan to let egg run underneath and set. When the bottom of the frittata has set, turn the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook gently for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the broiler.
- Uncover the pan, and slide under the broiler for a minute or two (watch closely) to set the top. Remove from the heat. Let the tortilla set in the pan for a few minutes, then slide out onto a serving plate. Allow to cool to room temperature, and cut into small diamonds to serve as hors d'oeuvres.

GRILLED ONIONS AND POTATOES
My family loves these tasty potatoes. There are never leftovers. Once the potatoes are all tucked in their foil packets, they can wait overnight to be grilled the next day. Great for camping. Check foil packets at 15 and 30 minutes to ensure they are not burning. May require a few more minutes to ensure all is cooked through.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown evenly.
- Be patient: It takes time to cook the potatoes through, so don't rush the process. If you cook them over high heat, they will brown too quickly and not be cooked through.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Tortilla de patatas is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or fried eggs.
Conclusion:
Tortilla de patatas, also known as Spanish potato omelet, is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is made with just a few ingredients and can be customized to your own taste. With its crispy exterior and fluffy interior, tortilla de patatas is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
