Patatas de Tortilla Spanish Tortilla Recipe

Patatas de Tortilla

Making Patatas de Tortilla or Spanish Tortilla recipe is very easy. The simplicity of the genuine Spanish tortilla recipe is what makes it so delightful. Originally, Spanish tortillas had only five ingredients: potato, eggs, onion, olive oil, and salt. Tortilla de patatas In Spain is perfect to eat for breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner. Tortilla de patatas can be prepared in many ways. Like in our recipe, instead of frying the patato, I used it to cook until tender without frying it to reduce the amount of oil consumed. The result is good, but the texture of the potato is not as crisp as if you fried it. Another thing is that you should consume it immediately. It will not keep it long since the boiled potato has water inside and may get spoiled fast. If the amount of oil you consume is not a big issue, I highly recommend frying the potato if you are making a Spanish tortilla or tortilla de patatas. If you’re looking for the classic Spanish tortilla recipe to try, I think you will try this recipe. Note that this is not the authentic Spanish tortilla recipe. This is another variation of the original one. Try to make this recipe; it is so simple to prepare and follow. Written and video instructions are provided below.

Preparation:

1. Peel off the skin of the potato, or leave it unpeeled. Cube them into small pieces.

2. Wrap it in a thin foil and bring it to a boil until tender. I highly recommend steaming the potatoes if you have a steamer.

3. Once tender, remove it from the heat and set it aside.

4. In a mixing bowl, crack 4 to 5 fresh eggs. Season with salt and a pinch of ground black pepper to taste. Beat them.

5. Add the small cubes of potato. Then gently mix, and it's time to cook.

Cooking:

1. In a small pan, heat 2 to 3 tbsp. of olive oil and gently pour in the mixture. Scrape it on top to make it even.

2. Cover with a lid and cook for a couple of minutes over low-mid heat.

   Note: Check it from time to time to avoid the bottom of the tortilla getting burnt.

3. When the bottom of the tortilla changes color to golden brown, flip it. Use another pan or even a circular plate to flip it.

4. When it is flipped, add the grated cheese on top of it. Cover it again and cook until the cheese is lightly melted on top.

5. When cooked, remove it from the heat and place it on a cutting board.

6. Garnish with extra cheese if you want. Add finely chopped parsley or spring onion, slice it and serve it.

7. Happy cooking, share and enjoy the food.
