You might think of this as a Spanish dish but I was introduced to this in the Valle de Guadalupe and have been trying to reproduce it ever since, I think I've got it. Que Sabor!!
Torta de Papas con Champiñones
Ingredients:
12 eggs
1 potato (yukon gold), diced in about 1 inch cubes
10 mushrooms, chopped
9-10 inch cake pan or spring form pan
a good teaspoon of salt
Directions:
Pre- heat oven to 350º
Thoroughly grease cake pan or spring form pan
Cook potatoes for 7-10 minutes in boiling water with a little salt
Let cool, dice into 1 inch cubes
slice mushrooms and sauté in olive oil for 3 or 4 minutes
Let cool, chop into little pieces
Beat 12 eggs in a large bowl, stir in cooled potatoes and cooled mushrooms
Pour into the greased cake pan or spring form pan
Cook on a low heat (350º) for about 40 minutes
You can feel the center of the torta and if it's firm, it's done
Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes
run a knife around the outside.
To remove place a plate on top of cake pan and then flip it over. Good luck with that. I used a spring form pan so I didn't need to flip it.
