Part 4/9:
Another quintessential dish that anyone can enjoy at any mealtime is the Spanish tortilla. It consists of a few key ingredients: onions, potatoes, and eggs. Preparation begins with peeling potatoes and slicing them thinly; using waxy varieties helps maintain their structure when frying. Then, onions are sliced thinly and slow-cooked in their own juices over low heat until they yield a particularly sweet flavor.
At the end of the process, the eggs are mixed with the fried potatoes and onions, and the tortilla is cooked in a non-stick pan over medium heat until the bottom is set and it’s ready to be flipped to brown the other side. This simple dish can be tailored with various ingredients and enjoyed at any time of the day, making it a beloved staple in Spanish households.
