When made correctly, the Spanish tortilla is a delicious half-inch thick "cake" of fried potatoes mixed with fried eggs and onions. After cooking, the tortilla can be cut into pizza-like triangles to serve 4-6 people, or cut into squares to give a whole group a bite-sized toothpick sample.
1 cup olive oil
four large potatoes
1 cup olive oil
four large potatoes
salt to taste
one large onion, thinly sliced
four large eggs.
Some people add thin slices of red pepper together with the onion.
Peel the onions and potatoes.
Cut the onions into about 1/2 inch pieces. Add plenty of olive oil to a frying pan and let them fry until they turn brown.
Dice the potatoes while the onions are cooking. Season them as desired and add them to the frying pan.
Fry everything together over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until everything turns slightly brown.
Remove the pan from the heat and drain the oil.
Beat 4 eggs in a large bowl, and add the potatoes and onions.
Add a little bit of olive oil in the frying pan and add the mixture. Cook the egg until it sets up, first on high heat, and then over low heat.
Turn the tortilla over so that it browns on both sides.

You can serve hot or cold. Most Places in Spain serve it cold.
I fell in love with this while I was in Spain and just found the recipe online and it is delicious. Mom and I had it for lunch today

This looks tasty. I'd love to have you make it for me sometime ;)
Chelsea made it for lunch for us the other day and it was very good! We both thought it was too much oil and think you could use much less. Maybe try steaming the potato pieces (in frying pan with a little water and a lid) to gently cook before assembling and cooking. I hope you try it again Chelsea!
