  1. Ingredients:

    * 3 large potatoes
    * 6 eggs
    * 1/4 cup of olive oil
    * Salt

    Instructions:

    1. Peel and slice the potatoes into thin slices and fry in a pan over a medium heat until tender but not browned.
    2. Beat the eggs, add salt and mix in a large bowl.
    3. Add the potatoes to the large bowl to make a round mixture.
    4. Return the mixture to the frying pan and cook over a medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side.

  2. This looks delicious!

    Tortilla española (tortilla de patatas) and arroz cubano were the only two dishes I missed when I gave up eggs. They were my favorite foods when I lived in Barcelona, my host mom made one or both weekly. I learned to make a non-egg version of each and it hits the spot when I’m craving the dish but deep down I know they’re so much better with egg.

    My grandmother used to make it with onion. It was the only thing she ever cooked for me. I miss her today.

    What kind of potatoes do you use? i have Russets, but I feel like waxy potatoes would do better?

    I love Spanish potato omelette- with onions, please!

    Why did you skip the onions?

    Ooooh I should make one again! Something I miss dearly from Spain. That and …pan con Tomate? Forgot the name. Breakfast, toasted bread or bun with a tomato “paste”. Are onions a traditional ingredient?

    Also, why is _tortilla_ okay, but eggs in mustard sauce are too simple? 🙁

  7. Looks nice. But without seeing it cutted I can’t emit a vote.
