While most of the recipes in Dorie Greenspan’s Around My French Table are hits, there are bound to be a few misses. Unfortunately, this week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe was a miss with us.
The recipe is called Potato Chip Tortilla. A traditional Basque tortilla is an egg dish similar to a frittata, usually made with cubed potatoes. We made Dorie’s take on a traditional tortilla earlier this year. This week’s recipe replaces the cubed potatoes with crushed potato chips.
This dish didn’t do much for us. I liked the flavors of the herbs (parsley and thyme) and green onions, but not the texture. It was a little dry and almost rubbery. We are used to “eggier” egg dishes. I could see making this again as a frittata without the potato chips and adding cheese. Our favorite part of the meal was the bacon served on the side!
I hope the other Doristas liked this better than we did!
