Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel the potatoes and slice them into rounds. Slice the onion thinly. Mix them together and season with salt.
- 2
Fry the potatoes and onion in hot oil. As the potatoes start to soften, break them up into smaller pieces with a slotted spoon to your preferred size. This also helps you check if they’re tender.
- 3
When the potatoes and onion are golden, remove them from the oil and drain well.
- 4
Beat the eggs with a splash of milk to make the omelette fluffier. Add the potatoes and onion, and mix everything together well.
- 5
In a skillet, add a little of the oil used for frying the potatoes. Pour in the mixture and cook the omelette on one side. Flip it using a plate larger than the skillet, then cook on the other side until set.

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. Chema -

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 Ricardo -

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! KevinInTheKitchen -

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 cookpad.japan -
