Step-by-step recipe with photos

And yet, how to cook Spanish Tortilla? Place the frying pan over high heat and generously pour olive oil into it. While the oil is heating, peel the onion and potatoes, cut the onion in half and into thin half rings. Throw the onion into the pan and fry, stirring, over high heat. We also cut the potatoes in half, then again in half and into thin pieces 3 millimeters thick. Add to the onion and mix.

Spanish potato and egg dishes are often fried for a long time. We also fry these ingredients for 10-15 minutes, stirring 2-3 times so that the vegetables caramelize and crust. I explained what caramelization is in my article on how to caramelize carrots and other foods , be sure to read it.

But let's return to the Potato Tortilla dish. To be honest, I cheated a little and this time used already boiled potatoes left over from dinner. If you don’t yet know how to boil potatoes , read the link. If you have the same situation, fry only the onions for 10-15 minutes, and add the potatoes later! This is how beautiful the bow should be, like in the photo! It becomes sweet and very tasty.

Add potatoes to the already fried onions, if you cheated like me. (If not, follow the original plan!) Fry the boiled potatoes for another 5 minutes until golden brown. A Spanish-style potato omelet can be made from both raw and boiled potatoes, so choose for yourself.

While the vegetables are frying, let's take care of the eggs, and with them the Spanish-style potato tortilla will come together. We break them all into a bowl and set aside. When the potatoes and onions are ready, transfer them using a slotted spoon (to get rid of excess oil) into a bowl with eggs, add salt to taste and slowly, carefully, lightly mix so that the eggs envelop the vegetables. Cover with foil and let sit for 15 minutes to allow the caramelization of the vegetables to permeate the egg mixture. After the required time, remove the foil and stir the mixture again.

Take a frying pan with a non-stick coating. Now, in my opinion, all frying pans are like this. Place on high heat. When it heats up, pour the still “raw” omelette with potatoes into the frying pan and fry for 1 minute, then reduce the heat to low and fry for another 2 minutes. And we turn it over! Using a plate! It's very simple. Place a large plate on top of the pan.

Recipe Details

This dish is widespread in Mexico, Central America and the USA. In Mexico, tortilla is the national dish.

This flatbread is used for many treats. When preparing dishes such as enchiladas, burrittos, fajitas, tacos, quesadillas, a variety of fillings are wrapped in a tortilla. Tortillas are often served as bread for many dishes.

It is used as a base for pies, sandwiches, rolls, and canapés. In addition, these flatbreads are often fried, baked, or served plain without filling. Crispy pieces of flatbread are added to soups.

For many Mexicans, tortilla replaces a spoon and fork. It is used to scoop up sauces and soups, hold pieces of meat and vegetables, and at the end of the meal it is usually eaten.

Tortillas are baked over an open fire in round clay pans called comals. When heated, the clay heats up, and due to this, the cake bakes quickly and does not turn out dry and brittle.

So, how to prepare this treat yourself at home?
