Among European culinary traditions, Spanish cookery is the most similar to Italian. Its unique dishes, made from simple but incredibly tasty ingredients, rich colours and unique smells, evoke the idea of partying while enjoying good company and the joyous Spanish atmosphere. Today, our culinary trip takes us to Spain, so that we can learn to make a unique, simple and tasty dish, the Spanish omelette or "tortilla". Serve it as you want: together with a fresh salad or as a filling for a nice sandwich. So, ready, steady, go! Let's make our tortilla or Spanish omelette!
Peel off the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. In a nonstick pan, deep fry the potatoes until they are nearly done. Drain them, then add the onions to the same olive oil where you fried the potatoes and stir fry. After a few minutes, add the potatoes and the beaten eggs over the onions, arranging them in layers. Cook for a few minutes, then cover with a lid for 2 more minutes. Turn the omelette upside down with the help of a lid being careful not to break it. Cook it for two more minutes. Your classic Spanish omelette is ready!
