Basque Potato Tortilla….French Fridays with Dorie
I was intrigued by this frittata-like dish selected for this week’s cook along from Dorie Greenspan’s Around My French Table. I’m pretty basic with my egg dishes…mushrooms, spinach, and cheese being about as exotic as I get. I know…boring. Still, this egg dish with potatoes, garlic, onion plus a hint of rosemary and cayenne sounded fabulous. And it wasn’t slated for breakfast, but instead for lunch with a salad or as an hors d’oeuvre.
Dorie offers a few bonne idees…and they are all appealing: onion and herb, mushroom or spinach and green onion. I made her original recipe…and it was a keeper!! Bill had a slice for dinner and asked if he could have it again for breakfast~

Lizzy, Beautiful pictures and your tortilla looks wonderful. I will definitely try this one again.
Lizzy your pictures say it all. Savory, easy, simple and beautiful. Wonderful B:)
Fritata is a must here, almost once a week we love it you sure aced this one!
That really does look fabulous! It plated up just beautifully. I love the hint of rosemary.
Beautiful photos and your tortilla looks great! I was thinking fritata too.
Eggs and potatoes together are sublime! The pics are so scrumptious looking!
So perfectly golden! Your photos are lovely and I do want to make the potato version.
This looks perfect to me! I would love to serve this with a big bowl of salad and some fresh fruit. I lvoe how you styled your pictures too. The garlic and rosemary worked perfectly. Thank you for sharing with me!
Lizzy, your tortilla is merely fantastic!! PERFECT!!! I wish I could have a piece of it
) right now…
Oh, gosh, how nice to wake up to all these lovely comments!!! Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the tart next week~
Beautiful post!!! Your photos are lovely and your completed dish looks amazing!
I’m glad you liked it – it looks so pretty! I think if I had added cheese all would be right with the world …
I love the gorgeous photo essay, but where in the heck did that very fresh rosemary come from?!
Thanks, Kudos, Trix and Kelly. My rosemary is buried under snow and ice, unfortunately, so thank goodness the grocery store came to the rescue
The photos are really beautiful and I love that perfect level of browning you got on your tortilla!
Looks great! I liked this one too!
Thank you, French Friday friends
I’m impressed that your tortilla held it’s shape. I’m still learning the technique of flipping the tortilla so it remains in one piece.
I’m thinking non-stick pan next time…it took 4 spatulas and 2 people to remove mine in one piece
Thanks for stopping by!
Your pictures are great. The rosemary makes them look so artistic.
Aw, thanks, Ms. Hobby!
Lovely pictures!!! Can’t tell there was a sticking issue at all!!
Wow, your pics are great. They almost make me want to make it again…
Thanks for the encouraging words on my first FFwD post. I look forward to more cooking as part of this fun food adventure.
That looks so elegant and with all those potatoes and eggs, it’s got to be extremely delicious. That’s my kind of comfort food.
Thanks, friends!!! So nice to wake up to such nice comments! On to this week’s tart…what version are you all making????
That last photo is absolutely stunning!
Oh, what a sweet thing to say, peaseporridgepdx!!! Thank you!
I think I need to get Dorie’s book!
Beautiful styling as always, Liz.
LOL, Carole…I can’t believe you haven’t caved yet
Your tortilla looks exactly like mine:) I just did not have the time to write about it, so you have to trust me:)
We liked it, but I think that next time I will add something else, just to push it into an awesome dish. Thanks for sharing!
