Spanish Tortilla with a Golden Crust

Published October 10, 2007.  Web Exclusive.

Makes one 10-inch tortilla, serves 6 to 8

We like to use russet potatoes here for their earthy flavor; however, Yukon Gold potatoes can be substituted. Using a 10-inch nonstick skillet here is important; do not use a smaller or larger skillet, because the cooking times will not apply. The tortilla can be served warm or at room temperature. Serve with Garlic Mayonnaise or Romesco Sauce (see related recipes). This recipe was published in our cookbook The Best International Recipe.

Dear Friend,

These days, it’s pretty easy to get free recipes on the Internet. I’m sure a search for “roast chicken recipe” will turn up thousands and thousands. But, as with so much on the web, you should tread lightly if you don’t know the source.

In America’s Test Kitchen, our motto is, “Recipes that Work,” and our mission is to be your trusted source for recipes that work every time you use them. Our test cooks spend their days obsessively testing recipes until they offer consistently great results. As we like to say here, “We make the mistakes so you don’t have to.”

CooksIllustrated.com is the only place you can find not only 20 years' worth of our foolproof recipes, but also objective ratings of cookware, and blind taste tests for hundreds of everyday supermarket ingredients (hey, without the proper ingredients and equipment you can still run into problems — no matter how good the recipe).

Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I’m pretty confident that CooksIllustrated.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from quick, weeknight suppers to huge, holiday feasts for family and friends.

Thanks for your consideration,
