Recipe by Pasta da Pulcinella for Bon Appetit
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed
1 cup all purpose flour plus additional (for sprinkling)
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon salt
9 ounces thinly sliced pancetta (Italian bacon), coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped shallots (about 2 large)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced radicchio
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, divided
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese plus additional (for passing)
1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted
Place unpeeled potatoes in large saucepan of water. Bring to boil. Continue boiling until tender, 35 to 45 minutes, depending on size of potatoes. Drain; let stand until cool enough to touch, about 10 minutes. Using knife and fingertips, peel potatoes. Cut potatoes into 2-inch pieces; press through potato ricer or food mill into large bowl. Cool. Add 1 cup flour, egg yolk, and salt; mix to blend, then transfer to floured surface and knead briefly to form dough.
Sprinkle rimmed baking sheet with flour. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll out 1 piece into 3/4-inch-diameter log. Cut log crosswise into 1-inch gnocchi. Roll back of fork along gnocchi, forming indentations along 1 side. Place gnocchi on sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.
Working in batches, add gnocchi to large pot of boiling salted water; cook until gnocchi float to surface, then boil until cooked through, about 3 minutes longer. Using slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to same baking sheet.
Meanwhile, heat large skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta; sauté until crisp and golden. Add shallots and garlic and sauté 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add oil to skillet. Add radicchio, 1 tablespoon parsley, rosemary, and gnocchi and toss until radicchio wilts, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer gnocchi mixture to platter. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese, toasted pine nuts, and remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve, passing additional cheese alongside.

Tortilla a la Gallega
Recipe from Penelope Casas The Foods & Wines of Spain
4 medium potatoes, peeled, in 1/8 inch slices
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
Salt
1 cup olive oil
5 eggs
1 chorizo (2 ounces) diced
3 tablespoons diced pimiento, homemade or imported
Fry the potatoes and onion with salt in the oil in the same manner as the Tortilla Española. Meanwhile, beat the eggs with salt in a bowl. In a small skillet lightly sauté the chorizo. Add it to the beaten egg along with the pimiento. Drain the potatoes and add them to the egg mixture, pushing them down with a pancake turner so that the egg covers the potatoes. Let sit 15 minutes.
Proceed to cook the omelet as a Tortilla Española.

Tortilla Española
Recipe from Penelope Casas The Foods & Wines of Spain
1 cup olive oil
4 large potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/8 inch slices
Coarse salt
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 large eggs
Heat the oil in an 8 or 9 inch skillet and add the potato slices one at a time to prevent sticking. Alternate potato layers with the onion slices and salt the layers lightly. Cook slowly, over a medium flame, lifting and turning the potatoes occasionally, until they are tender but not brown. (The potatoes will remain separated, not in a "cake.")
Meanwhile, in a large bowl beat the eggs with a fork until they are slightly foamy. Salt to taste. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and drain them in a colander, reserving about 3 tablespoons of the oil. (The potatoes give the oil a delicious flavor, so reserve the rest for future use.) Add the potatoes to the beaten eggs, pressing the potatoes down so that they are completely covered by the egg. Let the mixture sit 15 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil in a large skillet until very hot (you may use the same skillet as long as absolutely nothing is stuck to the bottom). Add the potato and egg mixture, rapidly spreading it out in the skillet with the aid of a pancake turner. Lower the heat to medium-high and shake the pan often to prevent sticking. When the potatoes begin to brown underneath, invert a plate of the same size over the skillet. Flip the omelet onto the plate. Add about 1 tablespoon more of oil to the pan, then flip the omelet back into the skillet to brown on the other side. (If your skillet was not hot enough, some of the omelet may stick to the pan. If this happens, don't despair; scrape off the pieces and fit them into their places on the omelet. With subsequent flips, the pieces will mesh with the omelet.)
Lower the heat to medium. Flip the omelet 2 or 3 more times (this helps to give it a good shape) cooking briefly on each side. It should be slightly juicy within. Transfer to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature. I prefer it after it has been sitting for several hours.

Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning.
