- Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and slide the tortilla back into the skillet to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes, or until it is cooked through and golden brown.
- Once the tortilla is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
The Spanish tortilla, also known as tortilla de patatas, is a classic Spanish dish with a rich history dating back to the 19th century. This iconic dish consists of eggs, potatoes, and onions, cooked in olive oil. It is a staple of Spanish cuisine and can be found in nearly every region of Spain. The dish is believed to have originated in the northern region of Spain, specifically in the Basque Country or Navarre. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in traditional Spanish taverns and restaurants, particularly in regions like Galicia, where it is a beloved specialty. The key to a perfect Spanish tortilla lies in the quality of the ingredients, especially the use of flavorful Spanish olive oil and fresh, locally sourced eggs and potatoes. Some chefs also add their own twist to the dish by incorporating ingredients like chorizo, peppers, or cheese. While the traditional method involves flipping the tortilla to cook both sides evenly, some modern variations involve baking or broiling the dish to achieve a similar result. Whether enjoyed as a tapa or a main course, the Spanish tortilla continues to be a beloved symbol of Spanish culinary tradition.
