Microwave Low-Cal Vegetable Spanish Omelet
I love Spanish omelets (Tortilla de patatas) but frying is so annoying, plus the kitchen gets messy and cleaning up is so much work. So I came up with this slightly low-calorie and more convenient method.
The cooking time will vary depending on your microwave, so adjust accordingly. For my microwave, 8 minutes was fine. When flipping over the omelet, place the one-sided browned omelet on a flat plate larger than the omelet itself, and then flip it so that the uncooked side can brown in the frying pan. If you use this method, I don't think you can mess up. Recipe by Spain

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel the potatoes and the carrot. Roughly chop up the potatoes, julienne the carrot, and thinly slice the onion and peppers. Place into a heat-resistant dish. Pour olive oil over the top. (See the photo.) Cover with a lid and microwave at 900 W for 8 minutes and then let it sit in the microwave to soften.
- 2
Add salt to a beaten egg and then pour into Step 1. Use a fork to mash up the potatoes as you stir.
- 3
Heat a frying pan well before adding just a little bit of olive oil (not listed in ingredients.) Pour in Step 2 and cook until both sides have browned (on medium-low heat). This photo shows the omelet after it has been cooked.

It is refreshing and delicious if you enjoy it together with some Spanish piriñaca. It really turns into a summer Spanish omelet if you eat it this way.

The omelet will soak up the moisture from the piriñaca, making it even more delicious.

Low fat Spanish omelette Low fat Spanish omelette
Well I have often found recipes of 'Spanish omelette' featuring ingredients such as peas. Sounded outrageous to me as I believed it should only be potato onion and egg but on this version I have added zucchini . I must admit it really looks the part despite not using tons of olive oil to cook the potato slowly. Still delicious.

I learned this recipe from my mother-in-law.It's perfect for something to eat with drinks, to pack in your lunch, or have for dinner.It's important to take time when cooking each side. If you cook it over high heat, it'll burn the surface and leave the inside uncooked, making it hard to flip over. Recipe by Monkichip -
2-Egg Fluffy Spanish Omelet 2-Egg Fluffy Spanish Omelet
I want to eat a Spanish Omelet!But I only had a couple eggs in the fridge.I used dashi-flavored eggs as inspiration when dealing with this conflict.Slicing the potato into strips adds more volume to the dish!When you're cooking it, slowly steam cook it over low heat. When it's time to flip the omelet, shake it out of the frying pan onto a plate, and then flip the plated omelet back onto the pan. I think this will keep the omelet looking nice.I used a 22 cm frying pan for this example. For 1 small frying pan. Recipe by emyo -

Spanish Omelet Recipe I Learned From a Spaniard Spanish Omelet Recipe I Learned From a Spaniard
A Spanish friend of mine taught us how to make it at a party. It became my signature recipe since then!Since it takes about 15 minutes to make, I recommend making it in between doing dishes or making other dishes.Cook it slowly over low heat without burning it! Adjust the amount of the eggs, or other ingredients to the size of the skillet.It's also great with green peppers, carrot, sausages etc...When you flip the skillet, the egg may drip out of it. I recommend doing it over the sink. Recipe by Riezou
