    Gluten-Free Spanish Tortilla Recipe

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Ingredients:

    • 6 large eggs
    • 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), peeled and thinly sliced
    • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
    • ½ cup olive oil
    • Salt, to taste
    • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    • Optional: ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish

    Instructions:

    Prepare the Potatoes and Onions:

    • Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and onions, making sure they are evenly coated with the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
    • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned, about 15-20 minutes. The potatoes should be soft enough to break apart easily with a spoon.

    Drain and Cool:

    • Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a bowl, leaving the excess oil in the skillet. Let them cool slightly.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture:

    • In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Gently fold in the cooked potatoes and onions until well combined.

    Cook the Tortilla:

    • Return the skillet to medium heat with a tablespoon of the reserved oil. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown.

    Flip the Tortilla:

    • Carefully place a large plate over the skillet, and flip the tortilla onto the plate. Slide the tortilla back into the skillet, uncooked side down, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the tortilla is fully set and cooked through.

    Serve:

    • Slide the finished tortilla onto a serving plate and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.

    Enjoy:

    • Serve warm or at room temperature. Spanish Tortilla is delicious on its own or paired with a simple salad for a light meal.

    This gluten-free Spanish Tortilla is a classic dish that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Its simple yet flavorful combination of eggs, potatoes, and onions creates a satisfying meal that captures the essence of traditional Spanish cuisine.
