Evidently, tapas are Spanish appetizers usually served before (or along with) alcoholic drinks. But my teacher wants us to find a recipe that we could execute in class this week for an end-of-the-year party (?) or something.
Anyway, if anyone knows a good recipe, it will save my butt!
Thanks!!!EMERGENCY! "Recipe" for tapas?
A traditional tapa is Spanish tortilla which is thinly sliced potatoes cooked on a small skillet with an egg mixture to bind it all together.
1. Thinly slice peeled potatoes.
2. Boil in water until cook through ( careful not to overcook or you'll get mashed potatoes.
3. Beat two eggs with about one or two tablespoons of cream.
4.Add salt and pepper to egg mixture and combine all ingredients.
5. Heat a small skillet on medium high heat and add olive oil (one tablespoon).
6. Flatten tortilla mixture on skillet and cover (non stick works best)
The trick is to get a crust on the bottom of the tortilla. When done, about ten minutes, you need to flip the skillet on a cutting board and you should have what looks like an upside down pie. Slice like a pie and serve. Practice a couple of times since potatoes are cheap. This can be done ahead of time and heated in the microwave prior to serving. Use red boiling potatoes since these keep their shape better. Yukon gold potatoes have a nice yellow color and flavor. Don't use Idaho or baking potatoes (brown skin).EMERGENCY! "Recipe" for tapas?
