How to Make a Spanish Omelet at home (Tortilla Espaola)
This meal can be cooked ahead of time because it stays well in the fridge and can be eaten cold. It can also be used as an element in sandwiches by sandwiching a slice of the omelet between two slices of bread. Nothing beats a piece of tortilla with a steaming cup of café con leche for a mid-morning snack.
The first step is to prepare the potatoes. 2 medium potatoes should be rinsed, peeled, and sliced. I sliced them in a circular form, but if you want to cut them into potato wedges, that is also an option.
Cook them in oil. I won’t go into specifics about the amount of oil because it depends on the pan you’re using. Simply cook the potatoes. 1 medium onion, cut into small pieces, should be added to the pan where we are cooking the potatoes. As needed, season with salt.
I’m going to use 5 eggs for this recipe. We shall begin by thoroughly defeating them. Mix in 5 pinches of salt. In a separate pan, we’ll add the fried potatoes and onion from the previous stage. Pour the egg mixture over that.
Here, I recommend combining everything thoroughly as soon as possible since we need to let it for a while so it shapes up as a nice circular omelet; otherwise, if we keep mixing, it will turn out scrambled thingi, which we do not want :)
Allow it to cook for a few minutes over medium heat before flipping the omelet using the plate technique. I used this method because, as I previously stated, I don’t want it messed up. When it comes to serving, all I need is to be in great shape.
Make a coriander topping and your TRADITIONAL SPANISH omelet (TORTILLA ESPANOLA) is ready to serve.
What kind of oil should I use for Tortilla Espanola?
The finest option is olive oil. However, do not use the best and most expensive one available. Olive oil will suffice for cooking/frying.
However, everyone’s taste differs, so if you want to try it, lower the cooking time somewhat. If you press down on the omelet with a spatula and it remains “wobbly,” the eggs have not yet set. If it’s firm, the omelet is done.
No. This recipe calls for only five simple ingredients, and replacing is not an option. It will lose its genuine flavor.
You can, however, add more eggs if desired (1 or 2 is plenty for the amount of potatoes).
