Spanish potato omelet

Spanish potato omelet
In the past few weeks, I learned from Sister Lili to make the traditional Spanish dish "Spanish omelets"("Tortillladepatas" in Spanish), which is an omelet with potatoes added. There are many theories about the origin of the Spanish omelet. One of them is that in the early 19th century, the Spanish economy was not rich. At that time, the price of eggs was very expensive. The idea of "using 2-3 eggs to make food that can be eaten by 5 or 6 people" prompted some housewives to add potatoes to the omelet, so that they did not consume too many eggs, but they also made delicious food that everyone could eat. As a result, Tortillladepatatas spread and gradually became a traditional food in Spain.

LG likes traditional Spanish foods, such as paella and potato omelettes, which are his favorites. Of course, he never expected me to make a decent Spanish dish, so he surprised him two weeks ago, and it got out of control. He ate it three times in a week and still enjoyed it. In addition, I would like to thank Lili specially for sharing the delicious food.

    Fry one side and turn it over. Turning it over is a big project, especially when the omelet is fried big, I usually use two methods. I. Divide the egg cake into four and turn it over one by one, but this destroys the appearance. II. Use another frying pan of similar size, buckle it on the frying pan with the omelet, and turn it over at a fast speed. This method requires a person with a certain amount of strength to hold the two pans (usually this job is for LG). Wait until the other side is fried, it will be ready to serve.
  • Spanish potato omelet Make Tips

    Feedback from Lili: 1. You can make a thick tortilla using a small frying pan. 2. Potatoes, onions, and eggs are essential for making a tortilla; other ingredients are optional. 3. The potatoes must be fried in a generous amount of oil until crispy, so the texture is tender and smooth.
