Tortilla EspaΓ±ola, also known as Spanish Potato Omelet, is a classic Spanish dish consisting of thinly sliced potatoes and onions cooked in olive oil, mixed with beaten eggs, and then fried until golden brown. It's hearty, flavorful, and perfect for any meal of the day, whether served hot or cold. This iconic dish captures the essence of Spanish cuisine with its simple yet delicious ingredients and versatile nature.
Ingredients:
-4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into thin slices
-1 large onion, julienne cut
-6 eggs
-Olive oil
-Salt to taste
Instructions:
1️⃣ Fry the potatoes: In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil over medium heat. Add the potato slices and onion. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove the potatoes and onion with a slotted spoon to drain excess oil.
2️⃣ Beat the eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until well mixed.
3️⃣ Combine potatoes, onion and eggs: Add the cooked potatoes and onion to the beaten eggs. Mix well to coat the potatoes with the egg.
4️⃣ Heat the pan: Remove excess oil from the pan and leave only a thin layer on the bottom. Heat over medium heat.
5️⃣ Pour the mixture: Pour the potato and egg mixture into the hot pan. Cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
6️⃣ Turn it over: With the help of a large plate, turn the tortilla over. Slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook the other side for about 5-7 more minutes, or until completely cooked.
7️⃣ Serve: Once cooked, remove the tortilla from the pan and place it on a plate. Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting.
Tips:
Adjust the amount of onion according to your preference.
