Potato Tortilla with onion

Here’s a detailed recipe for making a traditional Spanish Tortilla de Patata (Potato Omelette) with onions, along with an appreciation for the importance of this dish and Poseidon’s Paella’s approach to creating it:

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 6 large eggs
• Salt, to taste
• Olive oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Prep the Potatoes and Onions:
   • Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced potatoes and chopped onions to the skillet. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs together with a pinch of salt until well combined.
3. Combine the Potatoes, Onions, and Eggs:
   • Add the cooked potatoes and onions to the beaten eggs in the bowl. Gently stir to combine, making sure the potatoes are evenly coated with the egg mixture.
4. Cook the Tortilla:
   • Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a clean non-stick skillet over medium heat.
   • Pour the potato and egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
   • Cook the tortilla for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and set.
5. Flip the Tortilla:
   • Place a large plate upside-down over the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet to transfer the tortilla onto the plate.
   • Slide the tortilla back into the skillet to cook the other side. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the tortilla is cooked through and golden on both sides.

1. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Once cooked, transfer the tortilla to a serving plate. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
   • Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with a sprinkle of salt if desired.
