Spanish Omelet

 

Spanish omelet is also known as "Tortilla Española" or "Spanish tortilla." This is a traditional Spanish dish made with eggs, potatoes, and onions. Here's a simple recipe for you:

Ingredients:

1. 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2. 1 onion, thinly sliced
3. 6 eggs
4. Salt and pepper to taste
5. Olive oil for cooking

Instructions:

• Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Add the sliced potatoes and onions to the skillet. Simmer them, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned. This may take about 10-15 minutes.
• While the potatoes and onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them. Season with salt and pepper.
• Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, remove them from the skillet and drain any excess oil.
• Combine the cooked potatoes and onions with the beaten eggs.
• Heat a bit more olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg and potato mixture back into the skillet.
• Allow the mixture to cook without stirring for a few minutes until the edges start to set.
• Use a spatula to lift the edges of the omelet, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
• Continue cooking until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
• Now comes the tricky part – flipping the omelet. Place a plate upside down over the skillet and carefully flip the skillet so that the omelet is now on the plate. Then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side. You can also use a lid or another plate to help with the flipping.
• Cook until the omelet is fully set and has a nice golden color on both sides.
• Once cooked, transfer the Spanish omelet to a serving plate and allow it to cool slightly before slicing it into wedges.
• Spanish omelet is often served at room temperature and can be enjoyed as a tapa, light meal, or sandwich filling. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other ingredients like bell peppers.
