Authentic Spanish potato omelette recipe
A delicious recipe typical of Spain. The tortilla de patatas or Spanish omelette is one of the best known dishes of this gastronomy. And it is very easy to make it at home.
Ingredients
- 3 Potatoes
- 1/2 Onion (optional)
- 4 Eggs (You can add some more eggs, the more eggs you add, the juicier the omelet will be)
- Olive Oil
- Salt
Instructions
- We start our recipe by peeling the potatoes. We cut them into slices (between 1 and 2 millimeters wide). They do not have to be precise cuts (some can be wider and others thinner).If you want to use onion, cut it into thin slices.3 Potatoes, 1/2 Onion
- When we have the potatoes cut, we put enough oil in a frying pan. The oil has to cover the potatoes. When it is hot, add the potatoes and the onion and put it over medium heat. Add salt to taste. Cook for 30-40 minutes. Until the potatoes are tender.3 Potatoes, 1/2 Onion, Olive Oil, Salt
- While our potatoes are frying, we are going to prepare the eggs. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, add a pinch of salt and set aside.4 Eggs
- When the potatoes are ready, remove them with a colander to remove excess oil. We can leave them for a few minutes in a colander to drain them well. (If not, the omelette will be too greasy, and will spoil its flavor). When the potatoes are drained, put them in the bowl with the eggs. Mix carefully so as not to break the potatoes too much. Let stand about 3 minutes (with the heat of the freshly fried potatoes, the egg will begin to set).
- In the same frying pan in which we have fried the potatoes, we remove the oil, and with the oil that remains impregnated in the frying pan it will be enough to curdle our Spanish potato omelette.Pour the mixture of eggs and potatoes into the frying pan (when the oil is hot), and cook over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes. When we see that it is getting cooked, before it burns, we turn it over with the help of a large plate. Once it is curdled to taste, our delicious homemade omelette is ready.
