 Spanish Potato Omelet - Tortilla de Patata

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:

  • 6-7 medium potatoes, peeled
  • 1 whole yellow onion
  • 5-6 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 c. of olive oil for pan frying
  • Salt to taste

Preparation:

This “tortilla espanola” or “tortilla de patata” makes 8-10 servings as an appetizer. It serves 5-6 as a main course.

Cut the peeled potatoes into small pieces.

Peel and chop the onion into 1/4″ pieces. Put potatoes and onions into a bowl and mix them together. Salt the mixture.

In a large, heavy, non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil on medium high heat.  Cook the potatoes and onion.  Remove from heat and mix with eggs.

Pour 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil into a small, non-stick frying pan (aprox. 9-10”) and add the potato/onion/egg mixture.

When the mixture has browned on the bottom, you are ready to turn it over to cook the other side. Flip the tortilla onto a plate and slide it back on the frying pan to finish cooking.
