Recipes from Spain - Tortilla de Patata
Beat the eggs, add a pinch of salt and then spoon out the potatoes and onions from the oil adding it to the egg mixture. Mix well. Turn the heart up under the frying pan and return to the pan Brown on one side and then turn the omelet over by placing a large plate over the top of the pan with a cloth held under the plate so that you don't burn your hand quickly turn the pan over so the tortilla drops onto the plate, then slide the omelet from the plate back into the pan on the undercooked side to brown. Remove from pan and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving in large wedges.
Some nice variations to this simple but tasty dish : try adding small smokey bacon pieces with the onions. It is also a good idea that when the tortilla looks nice and brown and almost ready to be removed from the pan, drop in a knob of butter and run it around the edge of the pan so the butter melts evenly under the tortilla, cook for a further 2 minutes on both sides, this will give it a rich golden colour and make your tortilla look even more delicious.
Please remember to use good quality extra virgin olive oil, it really does make all the difference.
