Ingredients
- 250 g Potatos
- 4 Eggs
- 70 ml Olive Oil
- 1 White Onion
- Salt, Pepper
Instructions
- The first step to prepare your Spanish tortilla de patatas recipe is to cook the potatoes in their skin. Don't overcook it, because if it gets too soft, it will be hard to slice it.
- Add salt into the boiling water, cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes and check if it's cooked enough before you remove them. Peel them, and after they cool down a little, slice them.
- Add 1 tbs of olive oil in a pan, heat it up. In the meantime clean and slice the onions finely. Beat up the eggs, and season it with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the onions to the pan and sautee it on low to medium heat.
- When the onions are nicely softened, take the pan off the heat and remove the onions. Add another 1/2 spoon of olive oil on the bottom of the pan, then place two llayers of potato slices, making sure that they stick close to each other so your tortilla won't fall apart.
- Make another two or 3 layers of potatoes, adding onions between each layer. In the end, pour the eggs on it, making sure that each side is covered in eggs. Now put back the pan on low heat, cover it with a lid and leave it to cook for about 15 minutes. Check if the egg is cooked fine.
- Then, you have to take off the pan of the stove, put a large palte on top and verse the tortilla de patatas upside down on the pan carefully, so it won't fall apart.
- Remember that if the eggs are not cooked enough before this move, the whole thing will fall apart! Once you've turned the Spanish omelette upside down, place it back carefully in your pan. Cover it again, and leave it for another 10 minutes to cook on the lowest heat still. If you ave a double-side pan, turning the tortilla de patatas around is much easier!
- Once the 10 minutes passed, check if yourt Spanish tortilla de patatas are ready, then place the plate again on the pan, and turn it all around gently. Leave the tortilla on the plate for a few minutes to cool down before serving.
