What Makes a Perfect Spanish Tortilla?

Introduction to Spanish Cuisine

• The speaker prompts the audience to think about iconic Spanish dishes, mentioning paella, gazpacho, croquettes, and potato omelette (tortilla).

• The tortilla is a beloved dish in Spain, often sparking debates over whether it should include onion or not.

Ingredients for the Tortilla

• Essential ingredients for making a potato omelette include potatoes, onions, eggs, extra virgin olive oil, and salt.

• The speaker emphasizes that this recipe is a personal adaptation rather than a traditional one aimed at minimizing mess and complexity.

Preparation Steps

• Potatoes are washed and dried before being cut into irregular pieces for varied texture during cooking.

• Instead of frying in large amounts of olive oil (which is expensive), the speaker opts to microwave the potatoes with onions to save time and reduce mess.

Cooking Techniques

• Onions are microwaved with olive oil and water to create steam; they should be cooked until golden brown.

• After mixing cooked potatoes with eggs (ensuring they are warm), the mixture is prepared for frying in a hot pan.

Final Steps and Serving Suggestions

• The tortilla mixture is poured into a hot pan; flipping it can be challenging without practice.

• The speaker humorously suggests that having a partner who can cook may lead to greater happiness. Dinner will be served with tomato salad alongside the tortilla.
