Spanish Tortilla Recipe

 

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced (optional)
  • 6 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment:

  • Large frying pan (preferably non-stick)
  • Spatula
  • Large bowl

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Potatoes and Onions:
    • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced potatoes and onions (and bell pepper if using). Season with salt and pepper.
    • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Eggs:
    • While the potatoes and onions are cooking, beat the eggs in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Combine and Cook:
    • Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, drain them from the oil using a colander (reserve the oil). Then add them to the beaten eggs and mix gently.
    • Heat a few tablespoons of the reserved oil in the same pan.
    • Pour the potato and egg mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly.
    • Cook over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent sticking, until the edges are set and the bottom is golden, about 5 minutes.
  4. Flip the Tortilla:
    • Place a large plate over the frying pan and invert the tortilla onto the plate.
    • Slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook the other side, adding a little more oil if necessary.
    • Cook until the second side is golden and the tortilla is set, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Serve:
    • Let the tortilla cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
    • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.

Spanish Tortilla can be enjoyed at any meal and is often served as a tapa in Spanish cuisine. It’s simple, filling, and delicious. Enjoy making and tasting your tortilla! If you have any more requests or need further recipes, feel free to ask.
