Alison Makes A Lovely Spanish Tortilla with Aioli and Friends | Home Movies with Alison Roman
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- Today on Home Movies we’re making a snack-maybe the best snack? A Spanish Tortilla. Lots of ways to make this classic treat, and here is simply one. It’s made with a quartet (love that word) of pantry-ish ingredients you almost certainly already have: potatoes, onions, olive oil, eggs, and that’s it. Scale it up to make it thick, scale it down to make it thin. Cook it hard to slice, or enjoy it just set with a bit of runniness. Eat it hot, eat it warm, or, my favorite: Eat it cold, cut into thick wedges and dolloped with a bright, bracing aioli. Preferably outside, maybe on a blanket. Alone or with friends (friends = anchovies, olives, jamon, etc). Some of you WILL panic when you see how much olive oil is being used, but please know it’s not wasted, and it WILL be put to good use in an aioli (or however you see fit-use it to roast vegetables, a chicken, fry eggs, etc.).

As a Spaniard, this is the only recipe made by a non-spanish person that i have seen its accurate. I approve of everything she has said, from the onions, to the egg to potato ratio, to the letting it rest part.
I do it exactly as she says, following no recipe, just family traditions, but she nailed it!
Never seen potatoes soaked in olive oil like that !! been making tortillas all my life!
I feel VALIDATED thank you 🙏🙏🙏
She did a Pozole recipe several months ago and like many Mexicans watching a non-native make a recipe, I slightly cringed UNTIL i watched the video and was very impressed by her recipe. This woman is NOT Rachel Ray. She did not b*stardize the recipe. It was very good. I love Alison Roman.
i’m so here for the fact that you would bring a Spanish Tortilla on a hike
The Spanish Tortilla used to be a staple on our counter for Sunday drop-bys. Along with Olives, Tinned Seafood, and loads of white wine. I usually did at least two every weekend for the people who would inevitably stop in for a nosh.
party at yours sounds great!!!
I love that you begin by saying this is your version, and not the only one, and people have to come say "don't do this, don't use that".
Welcome to UA-cam baby
Ooh, the color gradient of those stacked eggshells was so pleasing to mine eyes🥚
ok but charcuterie boards are literally spanish dinner so this is on point!
Alison makes Tuesday's better
Mmmm. A Spanish tortilla, my favorite thing in the whole world. I was taught how to make them by a Basque cook and he just sautéed the potatoes and onions in the skillet.
I always like to have a few things made and in the fridge in the summer when we have frequent guests, something anyone or everyone can grab-n-go on the way to the beach, or maybe a mid afternoon bite before a late dinner out, or just whenever. A Spanish Tortilla is always in that lineup.
3 cups olive oil? 😭 thats a whole months rent
You can reuse it in other dishs so it not a waste.
Where do you live where three cups of oil cover your rent? That won't even fill my gas tank for a week.
I hear you, olive and avacado oil, my 2 faves, are like 4 times as expensive as conventional vegetable oil, which isn't vegetable at all but seed oil, usually canola, sunflower, safflower, corn and the dreaded palm kernel. Depending on how these are processed, the latter 5 mentioned are all inflammatory. FYI.
Don't use extra virgin olive oil- use pure olive oil or half olive oil, half avocado oil.
Luckily as she stated a few times you can reuse said oil in any dish where you’d normally use olive oil
It’s like I was waiting for it and then she said anchovies and I was like YUP THERE THEY ARE
On top of the obvious, Alison Roman is so funny, witty & smart ❤❤❤ (The delicious cooking is the cherry on top)
I’ve looked at a lot of these tortilla de patatas recipes and this one is great. Whether you like your potatoes/onions caramelized or blond, wet inside or dry, there is a cool tip I got from the proprietor of Tapas Revolution in London. Let your poached potatoes and onions sit in the raw eggs for a while (15 minutes). The eggy mixture will thicken and start to set. Makes it easier to cook through and much easier to flip without a mess.
bless you on your composting journey alison
Ummm… a few thoughts!
A. Where is David!?!?
B. I LOVED the hard taco episode!!
C. I need more Home Movies.
Thank you. Alison, you’re the best. I love the movies. All of them!! Watched em multiple times. Don’t stop, won’t stop! 😊
missing David. but hard shell tacos was a phone-in episode imo
You’re spot on with the matzah brei connection and I’m here for it!
I watched that episode and thoroughly enjoyed it.
This looks great, I prefer a more gooey tortilla myself but I still love a more well set tortilla with a nice glass of Rueda Verdejo on a hot day. Visiting Madrid in a few weeks and looking forward to having lots of both kinds.
I was a pastry chef a zillion years ago. I still stack my eggshells. 🥚♥
So funny that you mentioned your matzo brei video was least popular to date. That is my FAVORITE video specifically, and the matzo brei you showed me how to make has been in my rotation ever since. LOVELY!
Right?? I loved that video, and I love matzo brei ❤
Always look forward to your Tuesday cooking posts! 😋😋😋
It's iconic and it is the moment; Spanish Tortilla
so soothing!
I like these friends!
I just got back from Spain and have been wanting to make this!! It was one of my favorite things we ate on the trip. Can't wait to try this at home! Thanks Alison!
Love the flowers 💐
I rewatch the matzoh brei vid. Comforting! I love it and I love that now I have matzoh brei in my life
Love this
You can also do the two plate flip (I learned this from Gaby Melian when she worked at Bon Appetit): you shuffle it onto one plate so that the uncooked side still faces up, then put another plate on top and flip it that way. This removes the hot pan out of the flipping process, and it's worth dirtying another plate in my book
My wife used to make the Olive Garden soup with potatoes and Italian sausage - the potatoes did exactly what you said when hoisting a spoonful to my mouth. Always peel potatoes for these types of dishes.
The very first time I made tortilla I absolutely nailed it. Every subsequent attempt has been a total disaster 😫. This is enough motivation to try again, though.
I might put my first attempt in the 450 oven and then flip it onto a serving plate. Excited to try this!
Beautiful. Like many “simple” things, a great Spanish tortilla is much more difficult than it looks. Question: did you use a 10” or 12” for the 1-1/2 pound of potatoes?
Love Tuesdays..............................
I love your matzo brei recipe! I had never heard of it - not a Scottish thing but it is now in my household 💁🏻♀️
Everyone needs to go and watch that video!
I love your inner glow in this. I know this is a cooking home movie. But I thought you should know... xoxo
Uh, are charcuterie boards considered passé or uncool now? Because I’ll gladly be lame and eat my meats and cheeses and fancy fig jams.
Bravo!!!!
Dawn Powerwash is the best. I’m glad we have this in common. 😂
I love the idea of making this as a to-go food. I love making quiche for hikes and car rides, so this is another good option for me.
Ah it’s gorgeous
I basically had a panic attack watching all of that oil pour. LOL.
Omg! Now I need to watch the Matzoh Brei video 😊
The Dan Roman Matzoh Brei video is a classic.
well done! great video - as a spaniard I say bravo! have a great day
🙏🙏🙏
I've always stacked my eggs and I'm just a home cook, but I'm also🙄 a Virgo
I watched the Matzo Brie video 😊😊😊😊
"I would die for composting" merch coming soon
In Spain it truly is an ongoing ‘war’ of no onion vs onion in the tortilla. And all I’ve got to say is, if you have your tortilla sin cebolla y seca, you’re not invited to my house for dinner😅
Also, tortilla is a supreme food to take with you for a day at the beach🏖️
how does it feel to be blessed? when I make a mistake ordering I wind up with 9 copies of the same book, shoes that are a child's size and not adult sized - I have never wound up with a five pound block of cheddar. 😢 If only!
Wait I loved when you did hard shell tacos and matzah brei because they were nostalgic recipes for you!
Alison and Alison fan community, I struggle with purchasing the right olive oil. Any recommendations?
KIRKLAND....Costco Extra Vitgin Olive oil. Yes its a months rent but I am a careful price checking shopper. Also if you are a Yankee the price is pretty good. Love Alison
Shot beautifully! You have great nails and a smoky Betty Bacall vibe. If there were more women like you I might not be gay. 😂
😂 captions say, “… like when you do a chicken comfy, or a turkey comfy… ”
Haha oh nooooo automated captions 🫣
Remember what Chef John says: the food gods hate a coward
David where are you???? Oh, and yum!!!!
😂❤
What size is this staub???
I always wanted to make this. Thanks for the head start on starting. 😂 Ps. Loved the hard shell taco video. Grew up eating them and it reminded me to bring them back to dinner time. 🙌🏼✌🏼
I LOVE SPANISH TORTILLA - Adore this shirt you've got on too; fab recipe, fab outfit. Keep slaying Roman xoxox
Save me from this boring Tuesday
Guys, don't use extra virgin olive oil for this dish- Spaniards don't! Use pure olive oil ( second press) instead!
no no, we absolutely use extra virgin olive oil for this, this doesn't mean it would be wrong to use any other, each house uses what's available to them, even sunflower oil is okay if that's what you have
Even the spanish butchered name for alioli (since the original catalan name is all i oli which literally translates to garlic and oil) is alioli and not aioli but I still love u Alison. Been following your content for a while so it's very cool seeing you cooking one of my country's national dishes😁 and u being on the tortilla with onion team like me... queen.
am also Addicted to Composting™
A safe addiction
I really miss the vibe of the old home movies, can we bring back that more playful tone? Still adore you Alison Roman!!!
I suppose an octovegetarian either eats fruit, veg, and octopus (or squid?) or maybe has a diet consisting solely of V8.
I am sure it’ll never be acknowledged, but I am the first one here.
YOU DID IT 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Acknowledged ❤
Acknowledging!
👏🏼
So what?
Skip the potatoes and onions (or you can keep the onions and saute them a bit) and use potato chips! Mash the chips up a bit to small pieces and add them to the eggs. Great flavor!
i loved hard shell tacos and matzo brei the fuck
Real ones know
One thing- if it’s too overcooked it starts to smell like fish for some reason. I’ve never understood if it’s the potatoes or eggs or both.
She made the tortilla with aioli and friends? How can she do that to her friends? Cannibal!
hahhahaha! "my least liked video to date" Amazing content!
yeah most people never eat camel meat like myself
NOT GIRL DINNER!!!!
it's not not deviled eggs in the end
A snack???? 😅 Spanish people eat this as lunch and as dinner as a main or side, not only as a pintxo. Only salt, don't put pepper and please, don't use the oven!! It's not a frittata 😂
We love it for breakfast as well 😊
repeat after me: kwa kwar kwartet...quartet! quarter...You can do it!
Love your videos, but the camera moves way too much. I get dizzy and have to cut it short… sad for me
Loved everything, but pitted olives!? Please, use whole next time. It is a big difference.
They were stuffed olives (they had to be pitted to be stuffed)
That not aioli. Aioli is not mayonnaise with garlic added in. Aioli is oil emulsified with garlic. No egg in aioli.
Overcooked🤮
Why go there though.. whyyyyyy. Is this rage bait? Baiting people into commenting for engagement I guess 😶
Ay Dios mío…. Tortilla quemada y seca….ufff… please STOP!!! Malísima….
too much botox, better with less you are young and beautiful
My god, this was boring
Thank you for watching anyway, means a lot 🥹🙏
I absolutely hate tortillas, but apart from this we have such similar taste in food, I have to give it yet another try 🥲
