FERRAN ADRIà'S POTATO CHIP OMELET



Ferran Adrià's Potato Chip Omelet image

This recipe, adapted from the cookbook "The Family Meal: Home Cooking With Ferran Adrià" (Phaidon, 2011), is a study in simplicity. The chef of El Bulli, the famous Spanish restaurant, Mr. Adrià created an omelet reminiscent of a Spanish tortilla that comes together in minutes using only eggs, salted potato chips and olive oil. As with any recipe calling for just a few ingredients, quality truly matters here, so opt for the best potato chips, the finest olive oil and the freshest eggs. There's no need to season the dish with salt, Mr. Adrià advises, since the chips are already salted, but serving the omelet with salt and pepper adds nuance. If you like, add finely sliced chives, a handful of grated Manchego or perhaps a pinch of piment d'Espelette or paprika like a true tortilla Española.

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 large eggs
6 ounces potato chips (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy and lightened in color, about 4 minutes. (If you have a balloon whisk, now is the time to use it: It will aerate better than a standard whisk, and should take half the time and effort. Either way, your arm will burn by the end of this, but a fluffy, puffy omelet will be your reward.)
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to a 10-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium.
  • Add the chips to the eggs. Using a plastic spatula, gently fold a few times to ensure chips are coated. Let the chips soak for 1 minute.
  • Pour the mixture into the skillet, using the spatula to spread the potatoes into an even layer, then to loosen the omelet from the sides of the pan.
  • After the bottom of the omelet is just about set - it should barely take on color but the top isn't completely set - 3 to 4 minutes, cover the omelet with an upside-down plate or a large, flat lid. Holding one hand flat against the plate and holding the skillet by its handle, gently flip over the omelet to release it onto the plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, then carefully slide the omelet from the plate, uncooked-side-down, into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate, slice and serve immediately.

SHRIMP AND POTATO CHIP TORTILLA



Shrimp and Potato Chip Tortilla image

Categories     Salad     Potato     Side     Dinner     Shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs
Kosher or sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon pimenton (smoked Spanish paprika)
1 (1-ounce) bag potato chips, preferably kettle-cooked and lightly salted
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 medium shallot lobe, thinly sliced
Leaves from 4 or 5 sprigs cilantro, chopped
4 or 5 medium shrimp (about 2 ounces), peeled, deveined, and halved crosswise

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, a light sprinkling of salt and pepper, and the pimenton.
  • Lightly crush the potato chips in the bag. Stir them into the eggs and let the mixture sit until the potato chips are soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour 2 teaspoons of the oil into a very small skillet over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is soft and starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shallot to a plate to cool.
  • When cool, stir the shallot into the egg mixture. Stir in the cilantro and shrimp until thoroughly combined.
  • With the skillet still over medium heat, pour in the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. When it starts to shimmer, pour in the tortilla mixture. Let it cook undisturbed for a minute or two, then shake the pan back and forth and run a thin spatula around the edges of the tortilla. If there is loose, runny egg, lift an edge of the tortilla with the spatula and tilt the pan to let the liquid egg run underneath. Cook until the top of the tortilla is still wet but no longer a runny liquid, 3 to 5 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the pan. Run the spatula around the edges of the tortilla and then all the way underneath it to make sure the bottom is not sticking.
  • If your spatula is large enough, use it to flip the tortilla in the pan. Alternatively, take a plate slightly larger than the skillet, and invert it on top of the skillet. Using oven mitts, grab both sides of the skillet, also holding the plate, and quickly and decisively turn both skillet and plate upside down, inverting the tortilla onto the plate and removing the skillet.
  • If the skillet looks dry, add another teaspoon or so of olive oil, and when it starts to shimmer, slide the tortilla back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Shake the skillet to straighten the tortilla, decrease the heat to low, and continue cooking until a skewer inserted into the center comes out dry, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Invert the tortilla onto a plate again, let it cool for a few minutes, and eat.

POTATO CHIP SPANISH TORTILLA



Potato Chip Spanish Tortilla image

This is based on a recipe from George Duran's book, Take This Dish and Twist It. He says, "Make this recipe more memorable by using thick-cut, gourmet chips and only the freshest eggs." Tip: If the handle of your skillet is made of plastic, simply wrap it with foil before placing it in the oven. Be sure your skillet is oven-safe (it should say so on the bottom of the pan or in the manufacturer's directions).

EGG AND POTATO CHIP TORTILLA



Egg and Potato Chip Tortilla image

This is Ferran Adria's recipe, and it is a Spanish tortilla, which is a type of potato cake as opposed to a New World tortilla, which is, of course, a thin, flat corn or wheat flour item which you fill with other ingredients. Please use very thin chips such as Lay's in this recipe for best results. From Food & Wine 2005

Tips:

  • Use a good quality potato chip. The flavor of the potato chip will be the dominant flavor in the tortilla, so make sure you choose one that you enjoy.
  • Crush the potato chips into small pieces before adding them to the tortilla dough. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the tortilla and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add other seasonings and ingredients to the tortilla dough to taste. Some popular additions include chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cheese.
  • Cook the tortillas in a hot oiled skillet until they are golden brown and crispy. This will give them a delicious flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Potato chip tortillas are a fun and easy way to add some extra flavor and texture to your favorite Mexican dishes. They are also a great way to use up leftover potato chips. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make delicious potato chip tortillas that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
