Tapas are more than just a recipe, it’s a way of life – known for being great summer starters. With summer in the air, we are having a tapas week at iDealwine! Keep an eye on the blog for a new, classic Spanish tapas recipe every day, to enjoy with a good rosé or chilled white wine.

Tortilla Espanola

Serves 3 people

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• ½ kilogram of potatoes, with firm flesh
• 1 medium onion
• Olive oil
• Salt

Preparation

• Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut into fairly thin slices or dice finely.
• Cut onion into julienne.
• In a deep frying pan, pour olive oil and allow it to heat a little. Then add the potatoes and onion.
• Maintain medium heat to cook the potatoes and onion. Set aside to remove excess oil.
• In a bowl, beat the eggs until they become foamy.
• Add the potatoes and onion and let it soak for 10 minutes.
• Pour two tablespoons of olive oil in the pan and pour in the contents of the bowl.
• Cook until the mixture starts to boil.
• Place a large plate on top of the stove and then with a quick movement, turn the pan to flip the tortilla into the plate.
• Slide the tortilla from the plate to the pan to cook the other side.
• Allow to cook for 2 to 4 minutes.

These tortillas can be served warm or cold.
