Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the potatoes into uneven, thin slices of different shapes and sizes. In a bowl, sprinkle a lot of salt over them and mix well.
- 2
Heat ½ cm of olive oil in a large frying pan. When it's very hot, add the potatoes. Add the onion after 5 minutes.
- 3
In a large bowl, break the eggs, beat them, add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 4
Keep stirring the frying pan so the potatoes don’t turn brown or stick to the bottom of the pan. When they start breaking under the touch of the spoon, take the pan off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Drain the oil from the pan.
- 5
Mix the potato and egg well together while the pan gets very hot with no oil in it. Add the mix to the frying pan on medium heat and flatten it down with your spoon.
- 6
When the edges of the tortilla are cooked, slide it onto a plate then turn it over and back into the frying pan. Press down the edges to create a typical tortilla shape.
- 7
Take the tortilla off the heat when a knife put into it comes out clean (this should take less than a few minutes after the tortilla has been turned over).

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 -

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 -

[Spanish Cuisine] Potato Omelette [Spanish Cuisine] Potato Omelette
This is a variation of a recipe that I learnt whilst I was living in Spain. Normally you would fry the potato, but I heat them in the microwave to reduce calories. I also changed the technique for mashing the potatoes. Even with all the adjustments, these omelettes will come out tasting very good.In Step 4, see how the mixture looks, then decide whether you need to use a 5th egg. If there is too much potato and not enough egg, then you will get a crumbly omelette, Or, if you add too much egg, the potato will float to the top. I recommend cooking these omelettes until they're half-cooked, i.e. not completely cooked through to the middle. Recipe by Bakaryau cookpad.japan
