Relish the authenticity of Spanish cuisine with our classic Tortilla recipe! This rich, dense omelette layered with golden potatoes and aromatic onions is versatile enough for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And the best part? You can customize it with your favorite add-ins!
This is a favorite of mine but I must confess this is tricky even for me, I can make a mess very easily with this recipe!
So When I pour my egg mixture onto the potatoes at a very low flame, I try to open spaces with the help of a fork or a knife between the eggs that are cooked and the uncooked ones so the liquid goes to the bottom of the pan and will cook before turning it to the other side I will try ti cook it 85% through.

Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 thinly sliced potatoes
- ¼ cup of milk
- 1 finely chopped yellow onion
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes (I made mine with the help of a mandolin) and put them in a medium skillet with the olive oil over low heat.
- While the potatoes are cooking and browning, beat the eggs and milk, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- When you pinch the potatoes with a knife and they are soft, they are done, add the onion, let it cook for a couple of minutes. Then add the egg mixture.
- It can take anywhere from 10 to 25 depending on the pan and flame. When you see that the first side is 85% cooked, turn it over and cook the rest.
- You can serve it immediately as a meal with some salad or let it cool and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
