EASY SPANISH TORTILLA RECIPE
Spanish tortilla or tortilla española is basically a Spanish omelette with potatoes and eggs cooked gently in olive oil. This dish is traditionally served at room temperature or cold as a tapa, but it is great for any meal of the day. Leftovers will last in the fridge for a good 3 days!

Steps:
- In a big bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and paprika. Set aside for now.
- Prepare a 10-inch oven-proof nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Add the potatoes, onions, and scallions to the oil (at first, they won't all seem to fit, but with a little stirring, they'll compress as they cook). Lower the heat immediately to medium-low and watch to control the heat and make sure it continues to gently bubble. Cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender.
- Use a heat-safe strainer over a heat-safe bowl to drain the olive oil (reserve the oil aside for now).
- Season the potatoes well with kosher salt and add them to the egg mixture in the bowl.
- Turn the oven broiler on.
- In the skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the reserved olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the egg and potato mixture, and gently press to even out the top. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until you see the edges of the omelette begin to set and firm up then put the pan under the broiler to finish cooking. Broil for about 5 minutes, watching carefully until the eggs are cooked through and the top of the omelette browns slighlty (see notes if you prefer to finish cooking on stovetop).
- Allow the tortilla a few minutes before serving.
- To serve, invert the tortilla onto a large serving platter (you may need to loosen the edges using a spatulla). Cut into 6 slices and serve.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl mix the potatoes, onions, and 1/2 teaspoon salt by hand.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the potatoes and onions on low heat and cover with a lid for 5 minutes to let them soften. Turn up the heat for another 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the stove and drain off any excess oil.
- Meanwhile break the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the remaining salt and milk and whisk vigorously until frothy. Add the potatoes and onions to the eggs and mix until fully integrated.
- Clean the frying pan and return to stove.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil on a high heat and pour in the mixture, moving it around in the pan to help the tortilla to rise. Fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally until it has set. Then turn down the heat to allow the inside to cook. After a few minutes turn up the heat in order to brown the tortilla.
- When it's cooked place a large plate over the frying pan and flip the tortilla onto it. Return to the pan and fry the other side until golden brown.

Steps:
- Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
- Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and add the potatoes. Ensure using enough olive oil so that the potatoes are fully covered.
- When the potatoes are completely cooked, drain them in a colander using a paper towel. This way, the towel will soak most of the oil, and the leftover oil can be used later in other recipes.
- Slice the onions in vertical long slices and add them to the frying pan with a bit of olive oil.
- Sauté the onion slices over medium heat until they start to caramelize. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes depending on the flame.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl (ensure doing this at room temperature), and add a bit of salt which will help your eggs retain most of the moisture when you're cooking them. Note: Use around 2 eggs per potato for the ideal flavor.
- Add the caramelized onions and the potatoes to the beaten eggs and mix everything. Once everything is nicely mixed, let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Pour the tortilla mixture into the frying pan gently, and set the flame on medium-low heat. DO NOT cook your Tortilla Espanola over an extremely hot pan, as it can burn or overcook which is not something you want.
- Grab a large plate to flip the tortilla. Ensure using a plate that is larger than the pan, as it will successfully flip the tortilla without scrambling it. Put the plate on top of your pan, and flip it quickly. It may be runny, but that's how it is before the other side is cooked as well.
- Slowly slide the tortilla back into the frying pan and let the other side cook on a medium flame for an additional 6-8 minutes. If you like your tortilla fully cooked, you can let it cook a little bit more before taking it off the pan.
- Flip the tortilla again but on a clean plate this time. Let it cool down for 10 minutes before devouring, as the recipe tastes a whole lot better at room temperature.

Five humble ingredients express rich flavors in this classic Spanish dish. Onions not only caramelize in olive oil, but infuse it, creating a savory base for cooking potatoes and eggs. Slice it pizza-style for a shareable breakfast or tapa.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a knife, peel the onion (discard onion skin in a bowl for easy clean-up), then remove both ends and cut in a medium dice. Heat a non-stick, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil followed by chopped onions and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook until the onions are soft and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir the onions occasionally as they cook.
- Slice the potato (leave peel on), then dice the same size as the onions (cut away and discard any blemishes on the potato). Set aside. Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk and set aside. When onions are lightly caramelized, remove from heat. Place a strainer over a bowl and strain the onions from the oil, reserving oil. Set onions aside. Place oil back into the pan, turn heat to high until oil is slightly smoking, 2-3 minutes (hot oil will keep the potatoes from sticking). Add potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook until potatoes are soft and golden brown, 7-8 minutes (test for doneness by tasting one!).
- Strain potatoes from the oil, reserving oil. Add potatoes to the onions and keep the skillet warm over low heat (It's important to have no trace of onions or potatoes in the skillet or the omelette will stick). Stir beaten eggs into the potato onion mixture. Turn heat to high, add about 1 tablespoon of the oil back to the pan. When the oil begins to smoke, add egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula gently move the eggs around in the pan to distribute the heat. Turn heat to low and let the omelette set around the edges, 1-2 minutes. Transfer omelette to the oven. It will bake a total of 4-5 minutes. First, to set the eggs, 2- 2 ½ minutes.
- When the omelette is set all over, remove from the oven to flip and cook on the other side. Shake slightly to make sure it isn't sticking to the sides. Using a rubber spatula, gently remove the omelette from the skillet onto a plate. Cover with the other plate and flip over. Using a rubber spatula, gently place back into the pan, bottom-side up and back into the oven, about 2 more minutes.
- Remove omelette from oven. Using a rubber spatula, slide onto a plate. Serve.

Steps:
- Heat some oil, enough to cover the potatoes, in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the potatoes and cook, covered, until the potatoes are soft but not crispy, about 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a second saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, without any color, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Once the potatoes and onions are soft, strain into a large bowl and drain off as much oil as possible. Set the oil aside for use in another dish.
- In another large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk well. Stir in the potato and onion mixture and season with salt.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick fry pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the potato and egg mixture, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the eggs are set and the bottom is golden (use a spatula to peak underneath), 7 to 10 minutes.
- Place a plate over the top of the fry pan large enough to cover the surface and carefully flip over the tortilla. Return the pan to the heat, add a little more oil if necessary, slide the tortilla back into the pan with the golden side facing up, and cook until the opposite side becomes golden, about 5 minutes. Flip back onto the plate, slice, and serve.

Steps:
- Put a large non-stick frying pan on a low heat. Cook the onion slowly in the oil and butter until soft but not brown - this should take about 15 mins. Meanwhile, peel the tomatoes (if using) by scoring the skins with a cross, putting them in a bowl and pouring over just-boiled water. Drain the water after 2-3 mins and the skins will peel away easily. You can then coarsely grate them.
- Add the potatoes to the pan, then cover and cook for a further 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally to make sure they fry evenly. When the potatoes are soft and the onion is shiny, crush 2 garlic cloves and stir in, followed by the beaten eggs.
- Put the lid back on the pan and leave the tortilla to cook gently. After 20 mins, the edges and base should be golden, the top set but the middle still a little wobbly. To turn it over, slide it onto a plate and put another plate on top, turn the whole thing over and slide it back into the pan to finish cooking.
- Once cooked, transfer to a plate and serve the tortilla warm or cold, scattered with the chopped parsley. To accompany the tortilla, take slices of warmed baguette, stab all over with a fork and rub with the remaining garlic, pile on the grated tomatoes and season with sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
