How To Make Spanish Tortilla

Spanish Tortilla Recipe. The classic Spanish omelette made of eggs, potatoes and onions. It's both filling and nutritious. It will give you that Spanish feeling! Savour our Spanish Tortilla recipe.


Step 1:

You will need ….

  • 250 ml olive oil
  • 4 large potatoes -peeled and cut roughly into small cubes
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 large eggs
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 heavy based frying pan
  • kitchen roll
  • 1 slotted spoon
  • 1 bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 large plate

Step 2:

Cook the ingredients

Place the frying pan on a medium heat, allow the pan to warm through for a minute and add 1/2 of the oil. To cook in two batches, add half the potatoes, moving them around to separate them then half the onions. Stirring well, allow them to soften which will take approximately 5 minutes. When the first batch has been cooked, remove them with your slotted spoon and drain on a plate, lined with some kitchen paper. Add the second batch of potatoes and onions to the pan and cook exactly as before.

Step 3:

Beat the eggs

Crack the eggs on the side of a large bowl and pour them in. Season with salt and pepper and beat well.

Step 4:

Add the potatoes and onion

Add the partially cooked potatoes and onions to the beaten egg mixture and ensure they are completely covered. Leave to sit for 10 minutes.

Step 5:

Cook the tortilla

Place the same frying pan on a medium heat and allow it to warm through. Add the remaining oil and heat. Once heated add the egg mixture and spread it into the sides of the pan. Leave to cook for roughly 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and place it under the grill for 3-5 minutes to firm up the top. Remove after this time.

Step 6:

Flip the tortilla

Place a large plate over the tortilla and with one hand on the plate to steady it, flip it over from the pan onto the plate.

Step 7:

Serve

Your tortilla is ready to serve and can be enjoyed hot or cold.

This is NOT the real way to make a Spanish tortilla de patatas. I'm Spanish and nobody makes tortilla like that. You need to fry the potatoes and onions about 20 or 30 minutes , no 5 minutes (because in 5 minutes the ingredientes are raw). And we NEVER, NEVER, NEVER put the pan into the oven. We flip the tortilla and put again in the pan. (To Ebro I'm from Andalucia and nobody make it like this, this is not a version of tortilla de patatas this is another thing, sorry)

I am from Madrid and I love the recipies of this web. There are many ways if doing the tortilla española but honestly, and saying it with due respect, never saw anyonoe doing it in the oven, you need to flip it in and cook it in the pan.

Tortilla is made many ways according to the district. This recipe is roughly Andalucian. But the potato needs to be cooked for at least 15 minutes, Five minutes is not enough (and chop the onions finely). And the egg needs to be cooked very very gently, over 15 minutes or so over a very very low heat before flipping over. Let it remain in the pan to finish

There are many ways tortilla is made is Spain. But this recipe is roughly Andalucian. But the potato needs much more than 5 minutes - 20 minutes is more realistic, But cooking the egg needs very very low heat, and again 15 minutes at least.before flipping over.

I'm not Spanish but even I know this is nothing like a real tortilla.On the other hand, I would really appreciate some of the Spanish commentators here directing me to a good recipe, I'd probably make one every day if I knew how.
