PLEASE READ BELOW FOR MORE INFO ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
Tortilla de Patatas is one of the most popular dishes across Spain. In this step-by-step video, you will learn how to cook it. This specific recipe is made with onions, many other variants are OK too. You can add green pepper, chorizo, parsley, even plain (eggs and potato) tastes delicious too. It is an appetizer which combines well with fresh bread, mayonnaise or ketchup. For a more authentic taste, use organic or natural ingredients, and use a pan instead of an electric fryer.
Ingredients for 3 people:
- 3 Russet organic potatoes
- 4 pastured eggs
- 1/2 organic onion
- olive oil
- sea salt
Remember to cook in low heat, or you will burn the surface of the pie. If the inside looks liquid, it still needs some more time, it should be firm, but not too dry. Do not over fry the potato pieces, stop right before they start to turn brown.
WAYS TO COOK IT:
A) TRADITIONAL: Use a frying pan instead of a deep fryer. Do not cut the potato too thick or too thin. I prefer cubes, but slices are fine too. Pros: The tortilla will taste better; Cons: It will take longer to cook, especially if you are cooking for more than two people; a little more messy to cook.
B) CONVENIENT: Use a deep fryer. Do not set fryer to top temperature, since the potato chip will be more cooked outside than inside. In the movie the cubes seem to be large, but that's because the camera is very close. Pros: Fast; less messy; good when you are cooking for a large group and if you want to save on costly olive oil. Cons: Does not taste as good. Some say that the real tortilla has never been made with an electric deep fryer... well, electric deep fryers did not exist back then!
TO ONION OR NOT TO ONION, THAT IS THE QUESTION: Well, a tortilla with just eggs and potato is great, try it with onion and see what you like better. Also, some saute the onion before adding it to the mix, other don't cook it, they just add it to the mix raw. Some people add pepper and even chorizo, well, there are no rules, you decide what you want in your tortilla!
WAIT, HOW AUTHENTIC IS THIS RECIPE?
When it comes to traditional recipes, everyone claims to know the real official recipe, (they are right and everyone else is wrong) and some people even take it a little too personal. If you travel all over Spain, you will find that traditional dishes are cooked differently in different regions and by different cooks. There are NO official recipes, so be prepared to find differences. However, there is one thing all Spanish cooks have in common: Our love and respect for the ingredients we work with. Enjoy!

Lasombraerrante пишет: wow... that does not look like a real Spanish potato omelet (I'm Spanish) The best way is cutting up the potatoes in very thin pieces. Fry them with a lot of olive oil (medium fire) until starting to be brown-colored. The same for the onion. (About 30-40min)
Remove as much oil as possible and mix the cooked potatoes and onions to the beated eggs somewhere. Add salt. Put everything in the frying pan with a little bit of oil, let stand for 5-10 min (depending on your preferences) and turn it.

La forma y grosor del corte de la patata es irrelevante, así como freir o no la cebolla con la patata. Y aunque yo no corto la patata en dados, estoy de acuerdo con el autor en que me gusta más con el corte más bien grueso, no como esas tortillas con la patata deshecha, (por tanto muy grasientas) que no responden a la auténtica tradición. Y si el interior no está totalmente cuajado, mejor.
Un saludo.

Luis J. Serrano пишет: the potato chips must be cooked in such way that ther's almost no bubbling, in the video oil was too hot and they where too brown, its better also if they're sliced. Also there was not enough egg. Onion ist optional, in fact i like it better without it

blacky salamanka пишет: This is a potato tortilla or tortilla de papa. There are a lot of way to do a tortilla in Spain; the one on the video is like the argentine variation. The tortilla gallega has pieces of red chorizo or cantipalo and red peper in the mix. It´s a common meal with steakes, sausages, and vegetables.

You'll Need:
2 baked potatoes, diced
2 cups fat-free egg substitute
1 large tomato, seeded and diced
2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp olive oil
1 large onion, minced
2 tsp margarine
Procedures : In a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, cook the potatoes, onions, tomatoes, parsley, and garlic in the oil until most of the liquid has evaporated from the tomatoes. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in eggs. Wipe out the frying pan then place it over medium-high heat and let stand for about 2 minutes. Add 1 tsp margarine and swirl the pan to distribute. Add half oof the egg mixture; lift and rotate pan so that the eggs are evenly distributed. As the eggs set around the edges, lift them to allow uncooked portions to flow underneath. Turn the heat ot low, cover the pan and cook until the top is set. Invert onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining 1 tsp margarine and egg mixture
