Brandon Boudet, chef at Dominick's, Little Dom's, the 101 Coffee Shop, and Tom Bergin's (all in Los Angeles), created this version of Spain's classic potato omelet. This is a good recipe for your entertaining short list because you can make it ahead, it's versatile enough to be an appetizer or vegetarian main, and it's good warm or at room temperature.

 2 large russet potatoes (1 1/2 lbs. total), peeled and put in a bowl of water
  About 5 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  About 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  About 1 tsp. pepper
 10 large eggs, whisked to blend
  Flat-leaf parsley leaves
  Romesco
Step 1
1

Preheat oven to 300°. Cut half a potato into about 1/8-in.-thick slices. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a seasoned 10-in. cast-iron skillet or ovenproof nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add a layer of potatoes and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until potato slices are just tender and only barely browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer from pan to a plate. Repeat cutting and cooking with half a potato at a time, salt, and pepper, adding additional oil as needed.
