* Spanish Tortilla *
Also known as the "Spanish Omelette"
Spanish Tortilla is famous throughout Spain for being a traditional dish that can
easily be served at room temperature as a tapa.
It is an omelette made with eggs and potatoes , and onion (of course - onion is optional).
My husband and I love it with spicy Spanish Chorizo or Jamon, but it is all a matter of taste!
Here is the list of ingrediants:
- 10-12 medium to large eggs
- 6-8 medium potatoes
- One large onion(optional, but highly recomended
- Salt and pepper to your liking
Other optional ingrediants:
- Garlic ❤️
- Chorizo or Jamon❤️❤️❤️
Directions:
- 1. Place peeled potatoes and chopped onion in pre-heated frying pan with olive oil
- 2. Cook potatoes and onions until soft, but in the mean time- beat all the eggs in a bowl
- After you have beaten the eggs, you would add the Chorizo or Jamon to the egg mixture if you are adding it!
- 3. Now you will place the potatoes and onions in the bowl with the egg mixture and thoroughly combine them
- 4. Pour the mixture into the frying pan. Make sure it is a standard frying pan with rounded sides
- While cooking- take a spatula around the sides of the pan and allow some of the egg mixture down over the sides
- It will be tough at first to know when it is best to flip the torilla
- You will learn in time, from experience how you prefer it best
- 5. Now that it is time to flip the tortilla- take a dinner plate and put it on top of the frying pan
- With your hand firmly pressing the plate to the pan- take the other hand and hold the frying pan handle
- Now carefully flip the frying pan- leaning the tortilla on the plate
- 6. Now that the tortilla is on the plate- slide it carefully back into the frying pan to cook the other side
- 7. Now you just wait a few minutes- depending on how fast the other side cooked and flip onto a dinner plate
Ta-da! Dinner is ready!
