How to Make Spanish Tortilla: A Classic Comfort Dish

1. Sauté Potatoes and Onions

In a nonstick skillet, warm a cup of olive oil over medium heat and cook the sliced potatoes and onions seasoned with a pinch of salt and black pepper until they are soft but not colored.

2. Drain and Cool

Once the potatoes and onions are tender, drain the oil, reserving it for later use, and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

3. Combine Eggs with Potato Mixture

Crack six large eggs into a mixing bowl, whisking them until just combined. Fold in the slightly cooled potato and onion mixture.

4. Cook the Tortilla

Return the skillet to the heat with a tablespoon of the reserved olive oil. Pour in the egg and potato mixture, cooking until the edges set and the bottom turns golden, about five minutes.

5. Flip and Finish Cooking

Invert the skillet onto a large plate to flip the tortilla, then slide it back into the skillet with another tablespoon of olive oil, cooking for another five minutes until the eggs are set and both sides are golden.
