Is there anything more Spanish than la tortilla española? Also called tortilla de patatas, Spanish omelette, Spanish tortilla, potato omelet, and even Spanish frittata — this is quite arguably Spain’s national dish.
When made right, a good Spanish omelette is the very definition of traditional Spanish cuisine: simple food made with the best ingredients. This is the formula for the greatest Spanish recipes.
This is my version of Spain’s tortilla de patatas, with onions (a controversial ingredient among Spaniards) and left a bit gooey in the middle (you are free to cook it longer). It is delicious, easy to make (at least once you get the hang of it!), and makes the ideal Spanish tapa any time of day.
