Super Bowls!

» Read similar stories filed under:

With the Vikings out for the year, there’s clearly less at stake for the Superbowl on Sunday night.

However, it’s still a great excuse to have a party. And Molly Herrmann of Tastebud Tart is just the gal to help.

She’s a former nutritionist turned caterer and local food adovocate. For a casual party/gathering, she recommends mixing store bought and home made items and tapas as an easy and elegant way to serve a crowd. Here’s her easy recipe for Spanish Tortilla.

Ingredients:
4 small to medium potatoes, halved and thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
salt + pepper to taste
1T smoked paprika
1/4C sunflower oil
8 eggs

Instructions: Preheat oven to 375°. Heat oil in large, deep skillet or wok. Add potatoes, season with salt, cook potatoes, stirring frequently until they are not quite tender. Add onions and smoked paprika, cooking until onions are just translucent and potatoes are tender yet still firm. Remove from heat and allow to slightly cool. Whisk eggs until frothy, season with salt and pepper. Place potato mixture in oven-proof dish, such as a tart or pie pan. Pour eggs over the top, gently distributing the potato mixture evenly in the pan. Place in oven and bake until puffed and golden, and eggs are set in middle (about 25
minutes).

Complete the menu with empanadas (recipe on Molly’s site), serrano ham with cheeses and olives, a crudités platter with dressing or some good sea salt for dipping and Spanish Rioja. For dessert, you might try store-bought truffles and candied almonds.

You’ll accommodate vegetarians and meat eaters, plus it’s fun to snack straight through the final touchdown. With food like this, your crowd will still have something to cheer about.
