The Spanish omelette, also known as Tortilla de Patatas, is a classic and beloved dish in Spain. It features a perfect blend of simple and wholesome ingredients, including potatoes, onions, and eggs, to create a comforting and satisfying meal. This recipe is easy to follow and will bring a taste of Spain to your kitchen.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potato and slice it thinly.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the potato slices to the pan.
- Cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly golden. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set aside.
- In the same frying pan, add the butter and let it melt.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the pan.
- Cook the onions for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
- Add the cooked potatoes and onions to the bowl with the eggs.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix in the chopped parsley.
- Heat the pan again over medium-low heat. If needed, add a little more olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Cook the omelette slowly over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is almost cooked through.
- To finish cooking the top of the omelette, you can either place the pan under a preheated grill (broiler) for a few minutes until the surface is set (make sure the handle of your pan is heat-resistant), or you can carefully place a plate over the frying pan, invert the omelette onto the plate, then slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Once the omelette is fully cooked, slide it onto a serving plate.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose a starchy potato variety for the best texture, such as Russet or Yukon Gold.
- Cook the potatoes slowly to ensure they become tender without burning.
- Make sure to let the omelette rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow it to set properly.
- For an added twist, try including a clove of minced garlic or a handful of your favorite vegetables.
The Spanish omelette is a delightful and hearty dish that brings simple ingredients together in a beautiful harmony. By following these steps and tips, you’ll be able to recreate this Spanish classic with ease. Enjoy your homemade tortilla de patatas as a satisfying meal or a delicious snack.
