Spanish Omelet (Tortilla de Patatas)

We could say that this is the national dish of Spain. It's the best known with the paella and sangria. This is a staple that you will find in all "Tapas Bars." It's very versatile and essay to make.

Ingredients for basic Tortilla:

6 Eggs

5 potatoes

Olive oil

Salt

I add to mine:

1/2 Onion

1/2 Leek

1/2 Green Pepper

The National dish of Spain

Peel and cut in small pieces the potatoes, onions, leek and peppers. Put in a pan with enough olive oil to cover the potatoes. First, we add the onions, leeks and peppers when the onion starts changing color, add the potatoes, and cook medium to low heat until the potatoes are done.

Wisk the eggs and add the potatoes, not the oil, and salt, you can be generous with the salt because potatoes absorb it. In a non- stick pan add about a table spoon of olive oil, and add to the mix. We let it cook from one side, then take a plate put it on top of the pan and turn it 360˚. Now we can cook the other side. When done serve it with roasted red peppers, on a slide of "pan amb tomaquet", with a green salad, etc.

Add "Pan amb Tomaquet" and arugula salad, yum!

The great Spanish chef, Ferran Adriá, created a recipe in case you are in a hurry. he substituted the cooking of the potatoes, for kettle chips.
