Spanish Tortilla

A classic creamy Spanish tortilla made with potatoes, eggs, and olive oil.
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 800 g potatoes
  • 6 large eggs
  • Olive oil
  • Salt

Method
 

  1. Peel and cut the potatoes into small pieces. Rinse them and season with salt.
  2. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a frying pan and cook the potatoes over medium heat until soft and lightly golden.
  3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl.
  4. Transfer the potatoes to a plate lined with kitchen paper to remove excess oil. Add the potatoes to the beaten eggs and mix gently.
  5. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes.
  6. Heat a small non-stick frying pan with a little olive oil. Add the mixture and cook for about 1–2 minutes. Place a plate over the pan and carefully flip the tortilla. Cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes.
  7. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes before cooking so the heat from the potatoes slightly cooks the eggs for extra creaminess.
