Beautiful Brunch Potato Tortilla

Jamie Oliver says, "This is my twist on a Spanish classic. Serve it hot or cold for a long and lazy brunch." I have always wanted to make one of these, and it did not disappoint.

Ingredients:

1 lb potatoes
4 large eggs (I used 3 out of courtesy for Kalon)
1 medium red onion
1 1/4 cups sundried tomatoes
1/2 tsp paprika
3 loose cups arugula
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp ketchup
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper

Preheat broiler to high.

Peel potatoes and slice very thinly. I used baking potatoes, but I imagine another kind would hold their shape better - nevertheless, the texture of the baking potatoes was nice.

Put an ovenproof frying pan on a low-medium heat. Peel and finely slice the onion. Add a lug o olive oil to the pan with the onions, and leave to cook, stirring occasionally.

Place sacuepan on high heat. Add a good pinch of salt to the water. Add slice potatoes and cook 3-5 minutes (don't over do them).

Meanwhile, finely chop the sundried tomatoes. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, and beat with a fork. Add the paprika and tomatoes and season well with salt and pepper. Beat again.

When the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and leave them to steam dry.

By now the onions should be soft and smelling fantastic (his words). Add a splash of olive oil to the pan and then tip in the potatoes - toss well.

Tip in your eggy mixture and stir confidently with wooden spoon for about 20 seconds. Spread and pat the potatoes out into a flat, even layer, and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes without stirring or shaking the pan.

Transfer the pan to top shelf under the broiler and cook for around 8 minutes, or until the top of the tortilla is golden and cooked through. Turn the broiler off and leave the tortilla to sit in the pan until completely set. Meanwhile...

Make your table look respectable (aww).

In mixing bowl, use fork to whisk together the vinegar, ketchup, olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss with dressing (I made a little salad of spinach and chopped tomatoes which was very nice).

It says place the salad on top, after you have slid it onto a cutting board, but you can do what you want - just cut inwedges in a pan if that suits you. This was yummy yummy and Kalon really liked it, and I can imagine it would be so good with any number of additions - chorizo perhaps? But simple like this is just perfect.
