Instructions

  • Slice the potatoes. Peel and slice the onion.
  • First fry the onion in butter in a frying pan until soft.
  • When the onion is soft, just add the potatoes, and fry them with the onions until the potatoes are warm, which should take around one minute.
  • Whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour the mixture into the pan. Lift the potatoes so that the batter can drain.
  • Fry until the omelette sets. Using a large lid, turn it over and fry on the other side.
  • Sprinkle with herbs and serve.
  • Ready!
Enjoy!

Try adding a little bit of smoked paprika to the mixture. This gives the tortilla nice subtle smokiness.

A Spanish classic and an everyday, all-day meal or snack: this potato omelette can be served hot or cold, by itself or with a fresh salad. A simple, versatile, and satisfying recipe to turn to, again and again.

Potato omelette: Spain’s favourite dish

If you’ve ever eaten a well-crafted Spanish omelette or tortilla, perhaps with a dash of creamy aioli, then you know that despite its humble stature, this is a truly memorable dish. In Spain, tortilla de patatas is a real classic and a favourite to be enjoyed hot or cold for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a snack. The beauty of a tortilla lies in its apparent simplicity: just a few simple ingredients combined in a thick omelette. But as with any good cooking, the trick is to use high-quality ingredients and to learn the secrets of the dish by repetition.

Use up leftovers in your tortilla

In Spain, you will rarely find a tortilla that ventures beyond potatoes. However, we believe that your omelette can serve as an excellent base for using up leftover veggies, mushrooms, and cheese. Peas, corn, bell pepper, and broccoli will all find themselves at home in your tortilla. Finely cut pieces of meat such as chicken, ham, or cooked sausage can only make your tortilla even more flavourful. Take a chance and go for zero waste with the help of your Spanish tortilla.
