Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel,wash and slice potatoes finely. Peel and chop the onions and mix together and add pinch of salt
- 2
Heat moderately the olive oil in a good nonstick frying pan (if you're new to turning the omelette use a small pan, I always do, it's easier)
- 3
Add potatoes and onion to oil and cook slowly turning so that they don't stick to bottom. If too hot the potatoes will fry instead, we need them to soften and crumble but not crisp if possible. When potatoes are halfway cooked I add courgettes but this is optional.
- 4
Once cooked get potatoes out of the oil with slotted spoon so that you can drain as much oil as possible.
- 5
Add them to eggs. It should be a sloppy mixture. Add a pinch of salt if needed
- 6
Remove oil from the pan and turn heat up so the pan is really hot. Make sure there's a bit of oil and add egg and potato mixture
- 7
Cook until slightly browned. You may need to turn heat down a bit so that it doesn't burn.
- 8
When one side cooked turn into a large enough plate to cover frying pan.
- 9
Return the omelette to pan, check the pan for oil as it may need a drop adding. And cook until other side golden.
- 10
Enjoy with green fried peppers and baguette bread. Ideal for picnics as it's as nice cold as freshly cooked.

This is one of the most classic (and easiest) Spanish recipes. Every family does it in its own way, so this is my mom's style (the best, of course!). It makes a smart use of onion to sweeten it without feeling its crunchiness, plus some other tricks to make it look great.Note: as this is a big omelette, it usually cooks faster and easier on gas stoves. If you're using an electric or induction stove it might require around 30 minutes of extra heating for steps 9 to 14.

I grew up in Buenos Aires eating this Spanish omelet at lunchtime, especially in a sandwich with mayonnaise and lettuce. One can add scallions or sausage to it. I’ve seen it stuffed with ham and cheese too. But this simple version is the most traditional and way Penélope Cruz makes it in Almodóvar’s “Parallel Mothers”.#tortilla #patatas #potatoes #omelet #omelette #eggs #Spanish #Spain #lunch #supper #breakfast #dinner #easy #simple

I had this a few times while travelling in Spain, so when I got home I wanted to learn how to make it. All of the recipes I could find have about the same ingredients (it's a very basic recipe), but I wanted to learn more about the technique to make it just like they do in Spain. I'm posting this here hoping that some of you cooking pros will chime in with some advice on how to make the perfect tortilla!

In this challenge, I chose to make tortilla de patatas as a tribute to my mother. My father doesn’t like finding big pieces of onion in the tortilla, so my mother always sliced the potatoes and especially the onion very thinly. That way, my father wouldn’t notice the onion, and my mother could add as much as she wanted, giving the tortilla more flavor. Many people won’t even try tortilla if they know it has onion, but my mother managed to fool more than one person. After they finished eating, she would always ask, “Did you like it?” and they always said yes, that it was delicious. Then she would tell them it had onion in it. Another thing she did to make the tortilla delicious was to cook it over very low heat so the potatoes wouldn’t burn and would turn out nice and tender.
