What Makes A Spanish Potato Omelet Unique?
By Riya Anne Polcastro
Made with fork-tender potatoes, whisked eggs, and slivers of onion cooked to perfection, the tortilla española is one of the most delicious egg and potato dishes there is.
The list of ingredients for a tortilla española (or Spanish tortilla) is short and simple, but its sophisticated taste sets itself apart from a regular omelet or frittata.
After frying thinly sliced potatoes and onions and combining them with whipped eggs, cook them until the bottom is done and the top starts to firm up but still jiggles.
The hardest part about making a Spanish tortilla is flipping it out of the pan. You can slide the omelet from the frying pan to a plate to make the flip easier.
The exact origin of the Spanish tortilla is unknown, but today, it's eaten all over Spain and is found everywhere, from the family table to local tapas bars.
This decadent dish with a crispy interior and buttery exterior can be eaten warm or cold. It's generally eaten at room temperature in Spain.
