Spanish Tortilla "Spanish Omelette"
The Spanish tortilla is a classic tapa! Served as a small bite or in a sandwich (called a pincho), no Spanish bar or cafe would be proper without it on its tapas menu.While the traditional version only includes eggs, potatoes, salt and olive oil, I have added some onion and garlic to add more flavor! Try a different take on this classic by adding some nice chorizo sausage to give it a little kick!
Serves: 4 Preparation time: 30 minutes INGREDIENTS 3 medium potatoes cut into half-inch cubes 1 medium white or yellow onion finely chopped 3-4 large eggs 1 clove garlic finely chopped 5 TB olive oil splash of milk salt to taste (optional: chorizo) DIRECTIONS Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a small to medium-sized non-stick skillet pan. Add the garlic and onion and cook until they start to soften. Add the potatoes and cook over medium heat until the potatoes are cooked through. Remove cooked potatoes from heat and strain off the extra oil. In a medium-size bowl add the eggs (enough to almost cover the potatoes in the skillet) and mix in your salt and the splash of milk. Beat together and then add and fully incorporate the potatoes. Return the entire mixture to your original skillet (with a little of the oil still in the pan) and evenly spread out the mixture. Cook over medium heat until the egg is nearly set. Now the tricky part! Use a large plate to flip the tortilla over and finish cooking the other side. Place on a plate and let slightly cool and enjoy! Return from Spanish Tortilla to Home
