Recipe - Tortilla Espanola (Potato and Egg Omlette)
Ingredients
-
1 Yellow Onion
-
4 Potatoes (preferably red or gold skinned)
-
Olive Oil for frying
-
6 eggs
-
Mediterranean Sea Salt (to taste)
Prep Time/ Cook Time
10 minutes prep, 20 minutes cooking on the stovetop
Instructions
-
Chop the potatoes and onion into 1/2" cubes.
-
Pour enough olive oil into a 8" or 10" frying pan to just coat the bottom. Heat over a low flame.
-
Fry the onions and potatoes until the potatoes are just tender when poked with a fork.
-
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk together until the white and yolk are thoroughly mixed.
-
Pour the egg mixture into the pan containing the onion and potato mixture.
-
Cook under low to medium heat until the edges and the top are no longer liquid.
-
Flip the tortilla by placing a lightly oiled plate face down on top of the pan and carefully flip the tortilla out of the pan. Next you slide the tortilla, uncooked side down, into the skillet and cook for three-to-five more minutes.
Tip From Yaya's Kitchen:
Traditionally the tortilla is flipped to continue cooking. This is a technique that takes some practice, so don't worry if your first attempt turns into a mess. Within a couple tries you will be a pro!

Served straight off the stove, room temperature, or cold. Tortilla Espanola makes a great tapa, afternoon snack, or even a light dinner.
