4:03 she doesn't say "the potatoes talk with the egg", she says "the potatoes are softened with the egg" (la patata se ablanda)

As someone who has lived all my adult life in Spain, there is something mythical about the tortilla. Like a margarita pizza, it’s only a couple of ingredients. When it’s bad or average, which is often, it’s sad. But when it’s treated with love it sings and somehow those few ingredients blow your freaking mind until you’re reduced to a puddle of ooh and mmm sounds.

I love the simplicity of dishes that end up being timeless. Fried potatoes slices, slow-simmered onions, eggs & salt. Yum!

I make this for my family everyday Friday ... I cook 3-4 tortillas and they eat it up ! It takes some work but it’s so delicious snd I love the feeling of feeding my family something they enjoy. I’m not from Spain but visited twice and lived there for 4 months. The tortilla was one of the best dishes my host made for me.

The potatoes omelette is made in every houses in Spain. But if you want to visit the main land of this dish, Bilbao is the key city.

out of all the provinces in Spain, Cataluña is probably the least known for its tortilla de patata, there is a far richer culture of such dish in Madrid, Galicia, Basque Country, Palencia…

Vaya plato sencillo y barato Pero que bueno

I had no idea, thanks for sharing 😮

Oh delicious!

Deliciosa y tan sencilla en apariencia.

4:19 Qué gran verdad.

Nice! But she didn’t say “the potato talks to the eggs” but “the potato softens with the eggs” 😂

These simple dishes are found all over the world with no connection to Spain. In Tanzania, it is a traditional and national dish. It is called Chipsi Maeye and is served everywhere.

In Tanzania its called chips mayai

Great peasant food

I was assaulted with a tortilla that was flung through an open window of the apartment building on my block. The neighborhood was ethnically mixed but one can imagine my surprise when the eggy delight landed on my head and face. I frequently heard arguments as I walked past that tenement so I guess I should have been more aware. Thankfully the tortilla was at ambient temperature or I would have been burned as well. La vida loco.

Apparently they have different styles to prepare to tortilla espanola all over Spain. In Madrid it was with simply boiled potatoes and only barely cooked onions. For me, the calalonian style looks better.

That's probably very good with the caramelized onion, but by the looks it's probably the whitest, flatest tortilla I've seen in my whole life. Good tortillas de patata are no less than two fingers thick, creamy on the inside and golden on the outside. It's a shame that so many people from outside our country will now associate one of our best dishes with that amateur-looking one

The oldest recipe is from Villanueva de la Serena, Extremadura.

This looks delicious but just to clarify a Spanish tortilla is essentially an Omlet right?

Madre mia... tiene pinta de tortilla francesa con papas 😂

What does the potato say to the egg? "I'm going to beat you".

It's quite embarassing to showcase these flat pancakes as traditional tortilla. For starters, it's mainly a home cooking dish, and the potatoes are fried in a pan on the stove. They should be cut in a particular way called "chascar" and cooked with the onions, not separately... etc, etc.

You know she isn’t messing around when she starts peeling potatoes with a knife.

Me being Mexican I wonder which came first the Mexican tortilla or the Spanish tortilla?

Seguramente esté muy buena, no digo que no, pero creo que hay mejores formas de hacer la tortilla.

what a based culinary. Imagine doing something super obvious like adding spud to your omelette and it immediately becomes your national dish lol

i'm the 1000th person to like this video

No se hace así la tortilla :(

Yok aga. Tortilla benim için Meksika'dır. Orda biter. Bu bildiğimiz Spanish omelet. Hatta, bizim bildiğimiz yumurtalı patates. (I know you're gonna have this translated, but I've got the recipe already. I'm going to make it this weekend :)) 😂

los huevos están caros, sí, pero que tortilla más plana hahaha

All those minutes wasted to see someone make an omelette with potatoes and onions 🧅 lol

I'm from Madrid, Spain and sorry but that does NOT look like a good Spanish Omelette. Why? Well mainly because the potato should NOT be cut thinly and fried crispy. No way should you use a deep pan frier! You need a stove, ideally a gas one. The potatoes should be cut into thicker slices and fried in a FRYING PAN on medium heat with good extra virgin olive oil (never ever in any other vegetable oil). You need to turn the potato time to time, until you can easily cut it in half with a fork, ie, NOT CRISPY, but nice and soft. Also make sure to add some salt while the potatoes are cooking in the pan (also add a bit of salt later to the frisked eggs, you need at least 2 eggs per large potato, ). Also, you don't need to add onions. The original authentic Spanish Omelette (Tortilla de Patata, in Spain) is without onion, as the name suggests. So you only need 3 ingredients: Potatos, Eggs, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. And salt. Spanish Omelette with onion is called in Spain Tortilla de Patata con Cebolla. Yes, it is also nice, so if you do use onion, don't put too much, and make sure it's soft, nearly caramelised. You add the sliced onions after the potatoes have been poaching in the oil a little while. Like I said, don't use too much onion, one medium sized onion would do, or half a large one.The onion will add a touch of sweetness to the omelette. Also, the end result, once you have fried the Tortilla, doesn't have to be so runny. Some people in Spain like the egg to be very runny but many people don't. Some people like it it just be 'moist' inside. If it's too runny you could risk the chance of getting salmonella in my opinion. Indeed, not that long ago there was an outbreak of salmonella in a bar in Madrid where several people got ill because the Omelette was too runny, ie, the egg not cooked through enough. So, it's perfectly fine if the egg cooks all the way through (you can check with a sharp knife by pricking the middle of the Tortilla) or 'nearly' all the way through, ie, just left moist in the middle. Once you turn the heat off, wait a few minutes for the Tortilla to 'set', before serving. It is also lovely eaten cold, so you can let it cool down and put in in the fridge (not freezer!) and eat it as a snack or take it to picnics or make a nice Bocadillo de Tortilla de Patata (ie, a Baguette), and eat it for lunch. Spanish Omelette, ie, Tortilla de Patata, is really nice served with some nice basic fresh salad: crispy iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, sliced fresh onions, green olives, a dash of good extra virgin olive oil, a dash of vinegar, and a bit of salt and pepper. Or you can even eat it with a very simple tomato and onion salad (with olive oil and vinegar).

I thought this was called frittata.

Spinach and cheese on a tortilla española. Yes, please!

I was so confused. So an omelet is called a tortilla in Spain. Like chips vs fries. Gotcha.

My mums tortilla is better

Some of the weakest tortilla española that I've seen. Lots to learn.

Can you believe Spain used to be a super power. Lol

Looks under seasoned maybe the finished product tastes good though.

300 years colonize Philippines, but no Tortillas in Philippines.

Qué cantidad de tonterías que dicen en los videos, por dios santo.

I was going to subscribe to your channel but seeing this video has turned my stomach. That is not how a good Spanish Omelette is made. Crispy potatoes fried on a deep frier? You are having a laugh, aren't you?

Add a bit of cheese and you’ve got an elite dish

Tortillas originate from mesoamerica... aztecs were making them way before spain invaded & colonized....

One of the most overrated “dishes” on the planet. Baby food.

Tortillas are Mexican in the fisrt place
