Spanish tortilla easily makes it my top 10 easy delicious recipes of all time. My mum used to do this for us as a snack after we came back from school. All you need is 3 ingredients, eggs, potatoes and onions. It is definitely a Spanish staple and one of the most famous dishes in Spain. In fact nearly at the start of every Spanish meal there is a tortilla cut into small portions for everyone to nibble on. :) Try it out and you will definitely do it again...the ingredients listed below are for 4 people (or more if served as an appetiser).
- 8 large eggs, beaten
- 2 red onions, sliced
- 10 small potatoes, parboiled and sliced
- Olive oil, for frying
Method
- Heat about 1 cm of olive oil in a large deep frying pan and fry the onion slices until soft and transparent.
- Add the sliced potatoes and cook for about 5-10 minutes.
- Lower the heat and pour the beaten eggs on the potato/onion mixture. Make sure you distribute the eggs evenly.
- Cover and cook gently until the eggs are set. If eggs are still a bit runny on top, put under a hot grill for 30 seconds or so.
- Now here comes the tricky bit, get a large serving plate (we use a large pizza plate) and put it on top of the pan. Holding the plate and pan tightly invert them upside down (use a tea towel to hold the pan as it could be hot) so as the tortilla transfers itself to the plate.
- Serve warm or cold. :)
Enjoy!!
