How many times do you want to cook some easy and delicious?

If you are not spanish and you are looking for impress with an international recipe this is your recipe!

We want to share with you, an easy way to cook Spanish Omelette (in spanish: Tortilla de Patatas)

Ingredients (3 persons):

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 Kilo potatoes
• 1/2 Onion
• 1 glass or 1/4 litre Olive oil
• Salt

Procedure:

1. Wash and cut the potatoes into thin slices, after that,  cut two onions also into thin slices.
2. Heat the oil in the pan, and add the potatoes and salt, then  add the onion to the oil just after adding the potatoes.
3. Fry, stirring occasionally.
4. As soon as they are a golden colour, remove from the pan and put the potato mixture either in a sieve or on kitchen paper, so that as much oil as possible drains away or is absorbed.Beat the eggs well with a pinch of salt, and add to the potatoes. Mix well.
5. Put two small spoonfuls of olive oil in the frying pan, so that the bottom of the pan is covered with a thin layer of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the potato and egg mixture.
6. Once the omelette seems to be cooked, use the lid of the frying pan (or a large plate) to tip the omelette out of the pan, add a little more oil and slide the omelette in again, this time putting the less cooked side first into the pan. If you need to repeat this step, so that the omelette is perfectly cooked and golden on both sides, you may do so. This omelette is delicious hot or cold

Helpful tricks and suggestions:

1. If you prefer the potatoes to be soft, use a spatula to mash them as they are frying
2. Shake the pan gently as you move the mixture, so that none sticks to the bottom
3. Sometimes, without knowing why? when we are cooking spanish omelettes, are sticked to the pan or sometimes is break. Thereby, it’ll be delicious, but it will have a poor presentation.So, if you see that the spanish omelette has been stucked, remove the pan from the heat. Put a lid to cover for 10 minutes, the steam that will build up, will make the spanish omelette will be unstuck by itself.

Now, you have a delicious potato omelette which can be served as a tapas, warm, cold with salad!
