    I just made it! Delicious! I just add a little bit of garlic powder, just because I like it with potatoes. The flavor of the caramelized onions is deliish! Almost the same as the one my Spanish friends prepare. Thank for the recipe for two!

      you shouldnt put garlic. its like putting pinaple on pizza. if your adding anything, it would be some chopped up cilantro. you chop it up and mix it up. with everything before you uput it all in the pan to make the tortilla

    My dad used to make us these since I was a kid. Sometimes he'd put chorizo or cheese or various other things into the mix. It's a pizza in that respect. I liked em warm after sitting for a few minutes enough to not come apart, but they are also delicious sliced out of the fridge the next day. Tortilla Ethpanyola they pathatha!!

    Pretty good! I highly recommend making a bigger one, you will solve a couple of meals cooking once. Tortilla de patatas it's also delicious cool, so you won't even have to reheat it. Amazing with a slice of "pa amb tomàquet" (bread with tomato). Also works for a sandwich with baguette type of bread (the baguette with tomato and olive oil instead of butter) if you have to be on the go.

      Shallots make a great sub for onions. Their flavor is milder and sweeter, with a noticeably lower pungency. Leeks are another option to consider.

      If you're using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze all the water out, then add about 1/3 cup to the egg mixture with the cooked potatoes. For fresh spinach, I would sauté them separately and add to the egg mixture. Hope it turns out well!

    • @BreakfastForOne
      @BreakfastForOne  5 місяців тому +1

      Resting the mixture for 15-20 minutes allows the flavors to meld together and makes the omelet easier to handle. While you can combine the uncooked eggs with the potatoes and onions while they're still hot, be sure to stir them immediately afterward to prevent the eggs from starting to cook. (In this video, I let the potatoes and onions cool for a few minutes while I beat the eggs.)

    Hi, I'm from Spain and i just watched this video. I have a few things to say. Its not ' Spanish omelette '. Its called a tortilla de papas or tortilla de patatas (depending which part of Spain your from. also, you don't put garlic in that.
    Some other info for when you make it:
    -Your tortilla was a bit ti thin. When you use 2 potatoes of that size, you should use 4-5 eggs and half an onion.
    -no pepper on the potatoes and onions.
    -cut the potatoes and the onion into smaller pieces and put a little salt before frying them
    -fry the potatoes and onions separately, you take the potatoes out when that start to get a golden color and you take out the onions when that start to be a little transparent and that aren't crunchy when you eat them. you should have put more oil when you fried them. when you took them out some were over cooked and some undercooked.
    - when you make the tortilla try to not fully cook the inside. that way its juicy and not really dry. Also, try to have both sides evenly cooked

      No, it's a Spanish tortilla de patatas, you don't season the potatoes with anything. It's really, really good this way. If you want you can make a tortilla with other veggies and/or chorizo, but there's no need of extra flavorings.
      It's a traditional recipe with centuries of history, all the possible improvements are already there. You do you in your kitchen, but it's quite disrespectful when a foreigner without knowledge of a culture pretends to "improve" traditional foods...
