Cooking Instructions

Peel and slice the potato, then place it in the microwave with a splash of extra virgin olive oil. Microwave for 8 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes, then continue microwaving. The time may vary depending on the potato until it softens.

In a bowl, beat the eggs and add the cooked potatoes. Add salt to taste.

Heat a splash of extra virgin olive oil in a nonstick skillet. When hot, add the potato and egg mixture. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Adjust the time based on how runny you like your omelette. I prefer it a bit soft in the center.

Tortilla De Patatas (Spanish Omelette) Tortilla De Patatas (Spanish Omelette)
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 -
Tortilla de Patatas (Spanish Omelet with Potatoes) Tortilla de Patatas (Spanish Omelet with Potatoes)
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 -

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 -

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. almu21 -

Microwave Low-Cal Vegetable Spanish Omelet 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 cookpad.japan -
