Ultimate Spanish Omelette | Omar Allibhoy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Mastering a classic Spanish dish just got easier. The wonderful Omar Allibhoy is back with his favourite recipe for Tortilla de Patatas - or Spanish omelette to you and me!
There may be just three ingredients in this dish but each one is used to create an omelette that has bags of flavour.
Caramelised onion provides a delicious natural sweetness while the softened potato gives texture and depth. Mix through eggs and cook until golden and firm to the touch. The perfect omelette will be slightly soft and gooey in the centre. Makes you want one now doesn’t it?!
For more Spanish classic’s check out Omar’s book Tapas Revolution www.thespanish... and for a drink that will go great with this, check out the Beer Michelada recipe on Drink's Tube: goo.gl/FGu2D1

You know a recipe is going to be good when it starts of with 500ml of oliveoil
You can fry the potatoes and onions (optional) with sunflower oil (for instance), and use olive oil (a teaspoon or so) to cook the tortilla ;)
That's approx 1 Jamie Oliver tablespoon of oil
@@RoryAherne lol
I am Spanish, and the recipe looks good for me (I prefer a bit less coocked) but anyway, i agree with him, we always keep that extra vierge olive oil to cook potatos or eggs multiple times so its not wasted
@@RoryAherne most underrated comment of the year!
serves 6 people my ass I'm eating all of it myself.
hshahah chill
+Starmatrics from experience I would say it feeds 4 people more or less. Beware that it contains eggs and potatoes, which really satiate your stomach quickly.
With the amount of calories it's meant to serve 6 but it doesn't even fill 1
I disagree again zzzzzz but anyway, I should see your belly to attach to this belief
'Merica
Why am I watching this at 4 am with no ingredients
Simple you are hungry 😂😂😂😂
Oh yeah? Well I'm watching this at 1:51 am and I'm tired. 😢😭😭
lol...its 3:43Am and I watching this ..
it's 330 am here and I'm about to make this bitch 😂
4:06am now and I also watching this :))
One of the many great gifts that Spain has given the world. Unbelievably wonderful.
FOR THE NON SPANIARDS:
People, keep in mind OLIVE OIL is waaaaay cheaper in Spain, we are the largest producers in the world (45%), so it is not a crazy amount (for us) what Omar is using.
And the oil is NOT BURNED, so you can reuse.
We have been doing it for generations, and our population keeps growing, so we are not killing ourselves reusing olive oil.
He took the potatoes out with a skimmer, leaving very little oil in them. In my family, we strain them before adding them to the eggs.
I don't know about him, but I put that much oil so I don't have to keep moving the potatoes around. Also, I kinda like the oniony oil for cooking other things later (:
María Álvarez André If the pan gets super hot, couldn't the oil burn though? Burnt Olive oil is seriously unhealthy, I think if it goes over 180c you're f*cked. "As hot as possible" seems pretty close to that.
LlewenEbag You're right. I'm from Spain and it's well known that burning olive oil is very unhealthy. You must low down the heat before it starts smoking.
LlewenEbag I have never taken the temperature with a termomether, and I think only the chefs (or wannabes) do, but if the oil is burned it is visible, and you can also smell it.
María Álvarez André I totally agree with you! That's how I usually cook although I'm not Spanish ;)
Omar: "be very generous... half a liter of oil".
Me: "imma head to the comments section".
same lmao😂at least it can be reused
@@rexlongfellow It can only be reused for frying though. Never use it again to cook anything else. Otherwise the oil will taste like potatos xD
@@115DELDE thanks for the tip haha😂future me is gonna look back on this moment
@@rambro1stbud that is why I am being explicit, because not everyone can imply that he is assuming it.
Me: *lives alone*
"This recipe serves six people"
Me: Oh well
Szaam just divide the recipe by six (half a potato, a small piece or two of onion...) and use a single egg pan :) or this recipe actually serves lovely cold, you could make the regular amount and use the leftover for meal prep and side dish for a bit (but that might feel like eating a lot of the same)
You can eat that six times.
Cut the ingredients by half and do it up in a 6" fry pan.
I made this for myself and it was delicious! Had it for lunch to take into work for the next few days :)
It's okay
We don't judge
I went to Spain last year and ate this omelette everywhere I went. I vowed to try and make it when I got home...now I have the perfect recipe. Mil gracias.
Same here!! It’s my absolute fav!!!
The best spanish omelette recipe you can find in english. Dont trust any other than this guy.
@Charley Says - It's worth every minute!
I am Spanish and this certainly looks like a top notch tortilla.
@Charley Says I cook it in 20 minutes for 3-4 people that is. Forget the nonsense about the soaking for 20 minutes, 5 minutes at the most but you´re quite right we want to eat it as soon as possible so most cooks don´t even soak it at all! Having said so I must add that in Spain it´s usually cooked lets say in the morning to be eaten at lunch time. Resting time once cooked makes it so much nicer, no need for it to be hot.
And please Omar drain the potatoes, beat the eggs and don´t use so much oil! The onion and potato mixture is something between poaching and frying... NOT caramelized!!
@@amparosan.y.7176 cariño, la tortilla esa es de 10 no me jodas
He has the accent to back his claim.
There's so much oil that US wants to invade that pan
Ok
Eres más tonto que mis cojones dados la vuelta
This dish needs some freedom
@@AurelioCascales Cojones, es un buen chiste.
👏👏👏
As an Spanish cook i can say you fucking nailed it, is one of the best tortillas i ever seen in my miserable life.
Zurrapa47 hahaha you are funny
Zurrapa47 nailed it except the name cause is not an omelet.
no es ofensivo que le llame omelet? a ver que es lo mismo pero en frances.... pero... no que no os llevais bien con los franceses?
suits ur profile pic mate
Zurrapa47 supapaaaa dejate de rollos
This is the best recipe for tortilla. Amazing flavours, clear and easy to follow. Letting the potatoes rest in the eggs makes a huge difference, the tortilla is incredibly moist as a result. I've made it many times now and it always tastes phenomenal. Thank you so much!
Vanessa for president🎉 😉
4-6 People ? You mean 2 hungry Teenagers
L
Or just one hungry me
1 hungry stoner
Americans*
+grunt616 true 😂👌
It makes me sad that this dude said this will serve 4 to 6 ppl, when i could eat a half of it in one go ;(
I think you're supposed to have other things with it!
With bread and vino tinto, yeah!
He is Mexican- I am sure you are American. American portion sizes are insane, everyone knows.
I eat the whole thing
Rue Chawla Mexico ranks higher on obesity then USA. Just saying...
I really like the way he does this video. More from Omar, please!
I just followed the recipe to the T making it for my first time. And let me tell you, PERFECTION , FLAVOR, CONSISTENCY , all thanks to your amaizing video. My fiancee is american and has celiac desease, and we both enjoyed and ate the tortilla española with a big smile in our faces. Thank you Jamie. From now on , our Sunday breakfast. 🥳🥳
So simple but looks insanely good!
Oh my God Donal it’s you , I m impress with ur cooking , you r the best cook
Donal Skehan Ha! Nice to see you here Donal! I love your videos too! You’re so cute, too!
Donal Skehan Spanish omelette is a superb dish!! And I like a lot how this cook does It.
It isnt
blaxs That's your opinion there are 7 billion people in the world...
AAA rating all around for this video. Clear, succinct, no boring, unwelcome chatter.
I've been making this dish for awhile and the unbeaten eggs blows my mind. No doubt I'll be trying it out very soon.
Woohoo! Big love dude!
Tried it. Unbeaten eggs result--pretty much indistinguishable from beaten eggs.
I don't know why people disliked this. I made this today. I used local potatoes and not as much oil, but the potatoes did take longer to cook. Th egg mixture does get thicker and the overall frittata is fantastic. This is the first time, my potatoes didn't remain raw or overcooked. This goes into my recipe book. Thank you for sharing! Loved it and ate it all by myself.
Oh god, dont call it frittata please, and use more oil. It gets less greasy because it takes less time to cook.
Spanish Tortilla - Italian Frittata.. this is a Tortilla
I did it!! I DID IT !!! I am the World's Most Incompetent Cook, and I managed to make a Tortilla that looks almost like his !! Omar must have tried this out on an Idiot Cook like me, before he made the Video - - the scariest bit was flipping the pan and plate, but he is right, if you put a fair bit of pressure on the plate, and a good strong hold of the pan handle at the end nearest the plate, the pan and plate really do stay together as you flip them. And I am not that strong. Thanks so much, Omar - so PLEASED to succeed. My first YT recipe :-))
Enhorabuenaa!
Same here! First recipe I learnt, very proud of the outcome. Congrats Grace!
@@perlyax Thank You, Perlyax :-)
@@krmunoz2169 Well Done, Kristofher :-) Makes one just that bit braver in the kitchen, eh? xx
This is the first time I see a Spanish dish cooked right in an English speaking TV show. The very first time. And yes, I've seen Ramsay's paella.
Also, extra virgin olive oil is really good for you, there are many misconceptions about that.
You have no idea how Americans will misconstrue what you say. they will drink the extra virgin olive oil between McDonald's Big Mac's or 24 ounce steaks. Too many Americans mistake "healthy" for "you can eat outrageous quantities."
Garry Perkins
That shouldn't have made me laugh so hard, but, yeah. In case there's any doubt, no, we don't drink olive oil directly from the bottle, we don't eat food drenched in the stuff. I hope I won't be held responsible for any overdoses.
That's not entirely true. I drown my salads and veggies in olive oil. Well, not literally, but quite.
I think there's a difference between dressing a salad with a generous amount of olive oil and drowning it... Ultimately it comes down to preference, but drowning a salad in its dressing isn't exactly the usual thing to do. I mean, I have toast with olive oil and garlic for breakfast almost every morning, but even that's still a healthy amount.
livingsansara Yeah, it was a bit of an hiperbole. I meant I like to drizzle a generous amount :P
IT WORKED!!!!!!!! i actually got it right, and im an idiot
ariel itzhaki hhh good for u
I thought the same when I made it lol
then, you didnt cook enough before flipping i think. try using a little oil when taking back to the pan after it was resting. also the plate needs to be the much wider the the pan. ha ha ha, im an expert now :)
Great even idiots can do great things. 👍
As an idiot, I find this post inspiring.
Omar Oliveoilbhoy
👍
+Whatever This made me laugh more than it should have !!!!
Oliveoilboy*
Been making tortilla de patatas for 30 years and never knew about caramelizing the onions! My tortillas have always been good, so can wait to try this !
I kept wondering when he'll add the spinach, I just realized it says spanish not spinach 😂😂😂😂 slow 2am brain 😶
If you want spinach you have to wilt it and then twist it In a towel to drip all the remaining liquid you can
Jamie you did so well bringing Omar to this channel. His recipes are so easy to make but so tasty and that's usually what an average guy like me just wants
questir1 well, thats what spanish cuisine is all about :)
questir1 omar is the best
questir1 i like omar too
His accent is what really makes this video for me.
Calm down gay boy.
Yeah, you can really hear the Spanish sibilant
Instructions unclear, currently swimming in olive oil.
The egg is not supposed to be fried in oil.
Couldn't be clearer.
You missed the part with the onions and potatoes.
S.R. sounds like you've done it right tbh
Give up cooking I say!
"Huh, it has only three ingredients. In my budget"
*Sees him pour an entire 500ml bottle of oil in the pan*
Olive oil is not as expensive in Spain, that's why xD
If you can't afford 500 ml of olive oil, you should not be watching RUclips.
What people do is they keep a glass bottle with the used oil in. You need to:
1. Make sure you don't burn the oil - gentle heat does it
2. After cooking wait until it cools down
3. Pour it into the glass bottle through a fine sieve to remove debris
4. Re-use it only a couple of times
5. Use the oniony olive oil to fry an egg between *tortilla de patatas* cooking sessions
@@alexvi4251 you can also leave it in the pan cover it and then use it again to make fried potatos
@@alexvi4251 But in this video he used it with high heat, so what gives. And does it effect the taste of the food if you reuse it?
4-6 people... are you sure? I think i could finish this alone in a single meal. :D
This has to be shared. You can combine it with some bread with tomato and a nice salad.
it looks very small but it's heavy AF
You would be extremely full though, tortilla is quite heavy. I'd say that tortilla is plenty for 4 people with some bread and salad to go with it.
Oil been used six or seven times? Sorry to break it to you But that oil is not a virgin!!
But my fingers are!
@Joe Egan You´re quite right! Six or seven times is too much. Four is just fine. By the way I highly recomend to strain the potatoes through a colander once cooked, otherwise you´re adding extra oil to the mixture which will make it too greasy and fattening.
Virgin doesn't mean new. Virgin is the first oil you have when you press the oil.industrialy of course
Slutty olive oil. LOL
Lol I love you
Great recipe... here's my earth-friendly tip: Cover the bowl with a plate instead of disposable aluminum foil to reduce unnecessary resource waste/landfill bulk.
Or just put it in the microwave and don't heat it, to make sure it's in a closed space.
It's aluminum, not plastic. Did you think all foil was made from virgin mined aluminum? It gets recycled
Here in Australia we RECYCLE that foil. As MANY countries do. In fact you get new foil that's 100% recycled.
@@OffGridInvestor Recycling that foil takes energy that could be otherwise used for a better cause
Chill Michael .Chill.
Many are saying that he’s using a lot of oil but it’s just the same as when you fry fries, chicken or donuts.
I still couldn't believe donuts is fried and not baked
Steven Kane they say it because they are not form Spain and they have never eat a Tortilla and they don’t know how to do it, for me it is just a normal quantity
@@ciangavin7470 ok
@@thedarkesttimeline8715 but they gobble up a million other deep fried things, but for some reason, that's not weird to them
Don't think they got past that bit... like you are eating all of it instead of frying with it
After several years this is still one if not the best videos on tortilla de patatas on RUclips and I still love it.
making this for my mom's birthday breakfast today, I'm 12, wish me luck!
+Sarah Mao Good luck! Let us know how it went. :)
It was great! My mom loved it and I didn't use that recipe though.
+Sarah Mao good job then :D
+Sarah Mao next time serve it with a tiny bit if mayo. Or cut it by the middle and stuff it with a couple slices of steamed ham, or with some lettuce. Options are nearly infinite for the potatoes' omelette.
+Sarah Mao same right now except for my dad
I have a spanish nan and she makes this and I LOVE it so much. I am gonna make this myself and surprise her! She is always the one cooking. I will let her rest and enjoy some spanish omelette/Tortilla. 😃 😊
4 - 6 people?
bish it's all going to my stomach as soon as it's set on the plate. 😀
its so filling. i can eat 3 eggs and im full
It's not only one dish I. Spanish cuisine, Tortilla is usually the first dish or just an appetizer
日西ディエゴ No lol. First of all in a normal spanish family a meal consists of 1 dish and thats it. Sometimes we have tortilla for lunch or dinner.
4 - 6 Fecking Normies, or 1 meme boi/gurl/everything in-between
Omar is so good, more of him please :D And "oh my my," genarro too. :D
Does Jamie Oliver looks different in Spanish.. maybe it's just me..??
I don't think he is ethnically Spanish or Iberian...probably born in Spain to Moroccan or Algerian parents.
@@fuhqueue2017 He was born in Madrid but his father is from India.
I was going to say he was andulucia
Hahaha
😂👍
I had this for lunch when I was holidaying in Spain...I now cook this on a regular basis when I'm hungry..it beats reaching for a takeaway menu all the time..
Lovely I am going to make this today for dinner
***** :) Thank you for teaching this! I made it and my entire family fell in love with this omelette :)
Watched this video a year ago but forgot to leave comment. been making tortillas ever since.... Definitely better than any shop bought slimy one from mercadona. 👌
That guy CAN cook. You can tell by his accent.
He's a famous chef on a spanish restaurant on GB [ I think that the restaurant is in London, but I'm not sure at all]. He appeared on a Gordom Ramsay's contest.
Its actually sad if you think he can good just because he talks like that.
Bit
I often make this recipe following his direction almost to the letter except for the olive oil. It breaks my heart and my wallet to fry with it. Amazing recipe! We love it for dinner with a green salad. Thank you Omar and Jamie Oliver for giving these wonderful people exposure.
Just made this. Brilliant. Reminded my of my time back in Valencia in the '80's :-)
great tortilla espanola. good techniques. please Omar, get mooore Spanish recipes. thanks and greetings from Sacramento California
Muy bien crack. Se ve cada sacrilegio por ahí en cuanto a recetas de tortilla de patata que se agradece ver "the real thing".
100% de acuerdo
totalmente...le diría..--bravo maestro---
+José García Pulido "Muy bien crack". Not surprised after all that olive oil.
I love onions, i love potato, and i love eggs. Now that i just discovered this divine creation, i can't wait to try this recipe! Thank you so much!!!
This looks so good, wish I wasn't on a diet or I would so make this right now
I'm not trying to hook you up, but why are you on a diet? Saw your videos and would say that you have a good figure ^^
***** Women are always on diets, irrespective of their shape or figure ; )
Hedylogos Thats right^^
Pau Ia I'm sorry, I hope my comment will not seem very arrogant. Science already know that diet is very harmful, upset the balance of the body!
Fat does not go on diets, the body thinks that he is killed, and begins to make reserves of fat! From diet become thick and sick.
We need to eat properly and fairly, then the body will not "store" fat, but it will be spent on life! We need healthy adequate food + active lifestyle and sports!
Lol what i meant was that im on vegan diet which is why i cant eat the eggs or cheese sorry for not clarifying that
It looks amazing! 😋
It is, isn't it.
Shen Rushin absolutely yum! I wonder if this would be good for breakfast too :x
Kaoru777 Really good for breakfast!!! Even it is cold! I love cold Tortilla for breakfast!!
It is not for breakfast!!
Ami Amaranta i think we are free people and we can eat what we want when we want and if she likes this early in the morning so what. like shia laboufe sayed "JUST DO IT"
I just made this for my first graders Spanish cultures end of term party tomorrow. Amazing, thank you for doing such an excellent job of teaching.
WOOHOO!
Jamie Oliver do you know how to make egg bhurji?
Random Robin crack egg directly in pan and move it with spoon while still semi liquid add salt etc. seasoning
How many onions and potatoes , please help I never cook , I have no idea what Im doing !!
Help me before I end burning the whole house :D
da
First try and made it this way. It took me back to the breakfasts during our honeymoon in Gran Canaria 8 years a go.
As a spanish person I have to say that this is pretty accurate.
Cooked perfectly, dont want more or less done than that
@SKL potemkin What?!
As a Spanish person, I can say that it’s not accurate. Ingredients yes. Method no
@@joeroberts2156 My spanish grandmother would make this all the time with just potato, egg and cheese so I assume thats the one he had. Very delicious either way im sure.
What is the Spanish method?
The guy: Be very generous
My mom: I can make 50 eggs in this oil.
I've just been re-watching Goodness Gracious Me and one of their star characters is an Indian mom who always says "I can make that for 20 pence" or "I can make that in 10 minutes".
I would try this but I can't afford that much olive oil 😂
Come to Spain, here Extra Virgin Olive Oil costs like 17$ 5 l.
+Jo BalDez In my place it was $6 for 0.5l
+Raine Heartily 😮
+Raine Heartily $13.00 here in Cali. Lol
use sunflower oil, it ll be fine
Amazing recipe, I perfected over time and as the Omar points out the key is to get the onions caramelized just as the potatoes are done. It tastes great !
What size pan do you use to cook the omelette? I want to make it thick enough so pan size is crucial.
English-speakers: "Spanish Omelette"
Spanish-speakers: Tortilla
Exactly. Its a tortilla.
Tortilla de papa, to be exact
The way this man says caramelize just became my whole life
I know it’s enchanting
When I first tried a piece of this gold years ago, I could not resist ordering a whole pie... just for myself..
I like this dudes cookin'. He explains it very well.
Superb recipe
Sixseggs ! oh god , I love Spanish accent !!
Thanks😂😂
I bloody love this guy
Yum! When I lived in Spain I lived on tortilla española! My favorite Spanish dish! Thanks for this recipe. I will be trying it.
How about a croquetas de jamon recipe?
¡¡ Tú sí que sabes !!
croquetas! croquetas!
Croquetas de jamón, de cocido y de bacalao... My mouth is melting. I don't know why tortilla de patatas is so famous and croquetas are not that famous abroad...
Marc S Jodó... eres un experto, chaval.
Supongo que la tortilla de patatas tiene menos trabajo... y sale más cantidad por menos dinero.
Creo que, por otro lado, es más fácil que la tortilla de patatas salga siempre muy parecida en todas partes... aunque hay veces en que se aprecia una tortilla especialmente buena y otras se puede probar otra que no está tan buena.
Las croquetas, sin embargo, pueden salir de cualquier manera... y no siempre bien. Algunas veces las he visto terribles...
Por otro lado, en Madrid, por ejemplo, lo más rápido de tomar, y lo más clásico, es un pincho de tortilla de patatas con una cerveza.
Hay gente que cuando llega al bar ni lo piensa... es lo primero que piden. Quizá si lo pensaran pedirían otra cosa... pero es que, ya te digo, es un clásico...
Por cierto... ¿Tú has estado por España, verdad?
Eso de las croquetas de bacalao no lo sabe cualquiera...

you didn't watch the video or what?
Looks yummy I'm going to try
Fvpr 1810 coccyx cccc c. Please stop texting me I'm not your friend
This is by far the best Tortilla recipe I have ever tried. Mixing the eggs with the cooked potatoes and onion and letting them rest is genius! A Million times better than the Jamie Oliver recipe which terrible :)
I'm Argentinian and grew up with a Spanish Grandmother. This is without a doubt one of my favorite dishes. And when I feel like splurging, I'd rather have this than domino's or Mcdonald's or In N Out any day of the week.
It's not mean't to be eaten every day, but it's a glorious day when you do.
P.S. There is a scrambled recipe of this dish that's much easier to make, tastes similar, but the texture is different. I can't recall the name right now, but it's definitely worth looking at if you want a little less egg and oil in the recipe (emphasis on "little").
In revueltillo con papas y cebollas.
I think this might be the one you are referring to ruclips.net/video/ne15z0z8yUg/видео.html
Well im not Argentinian , but i grew up with Argentinian grandmother, and must say everytime she cooked this for me i couldnt be happier.even if i cook it step by step its not the same :D
Leo Messi
If you ve given me a choice of tortilla da patatas and In N Out burger, that would be a tough one to decide.
I have just made this never having made a Spanish omelette before and it is absolutely delicious. I followed the instructions exactly and found it very easy. The caramelisation of the onions is so tasty. It will easily serve six although I'm on my own so will be overdosing on it, yum. It does seem a lot of oil but you need that to cook the onions and potatoes but you drain it and it can be used again, I'll just be cooking with it as normal and I'm sure it will add tremendous flavour to whatever I'm cooking. This will definitely be a favourite from now on 😋
There's so much oil in that pan, now it needs some democracy.
By the way - the recipe is great! I've been intimidated by this dish for years. It worked out fantastically following this video. I used a cast iron pan, because I don't do non-stick. It was a bit heavy, but the tortilla didn't stick at all, and the clean up was minimal. Thanks Omar!
What in the incantation?! I don't know what type of hocus pocus Omar has, but this is one of the best things I have ever eaten, not made, EATEN! Listen to his every instruction, as though it were gospel, follow his every step, he is your shepherd, he will lead you to culinary pastures! Thank you so much!
bubblegummers84 A modern day Spanish Jesus
The magic of the recipe is that you are constantly thinking "This is going to be a disaster" "everything is leaking" "why am I even trying" and just at the very end, you get a proper Spanish tortilla and you truly don't know how is it even physically possible.
Made this so many times over the years after watching this, came out amazing every time. Thanks so much!
1 oignon
3 potatoes
6 eggs
oh thank u... i was looking for it..
You are a god
olive oil and salt
Olive Oil?? Salt??
Hyia all I am the type of person who needs a lot of exact measurements (I panic otherwise 😳) so I used 700 gr of potatoes rougly 8 medium sized to cook the omelette. I never attempted to do such a recepe so the faces of my family tonight will tell me all. This was very inspirational.
Guys I'll tell you what. I've followed this recipe for a few years now and every time I receive the highest compliments from my Spanish friends. Follow it closely!
I don't have Spanish friends but I make it a few times a month now and its a great way to use up extra potatoes and is cheap and best of all has all the ingredients! Definitely recommended!
5:13 he touches his nose as if he is lying hahah
+sebsterkid77 hahaha, maybe you're right: it seems a litle undercooked
+umarth That's how we usually cook it here in Spain, it is more fluffy and moist. Although it is also true that there are some people who prefer it a bit more cooked. :)
***** Jajaja, yo soy español también. Es verdad que por el norte les gusta más bien jugosita por el centro (o la famosa tortilla de Betanzos que es casi líquida), pero coincidirás conmigo en que la típica tortilla de patatas que sirven en los bares de la mayoría del país es más bien como un pastel, completamente cuajada.
umarth jeje, tienes razón, yo es que al ser del norte, estoy acostumbrada a la que es jugosa. Lo de los restaurantes, bueno, a los que he ido yo, suele ser jugosa, a menos que sea de las pre-cocinadas, que esas están más secas que na', jaja.
+umarth pero en los bares te la ponen así generalmente porque la tienen fuera todo el día :/ (si te refieres a los pinchos de tortilla y tal) y es mejor cocinarla lo máximo posible para evitarse problemas!
My grandma, may her soul rest in piece, lived in Tangier for a long time. I grew up watching her make tortillas, very simple recipe; french fries and eggs. Mom learned it from her, and so did i later on. I wanted to improvise so many times although I'm not a cook, but now I decided to look for a cooler recipe and thus I stumbled upon this masterpiece. I am yet to try it and taste it myself !
2:58 okey im gonna give a tip here, what we do in my house is just first mix the eggs in a cup using a fork, and thats way faster, you may also wanna add a little bit of salt now.
*some people also add small chorizo dices and make a "tortilla de chorizo".
I'm spanish. I love the spanish tortilla. My mom cooked it many times for me when i was a little boy. Now i did it for her like omar snd she freak out😊 muy buena la tortilla omar. Saludos desde Suiza...
The reason I'm travelling to Spain!!!
I have made this so many times, a wonderful recipe thank you ❤
I like it a little less cooked, so everything inside is like the center.
same
me too! How would you adjust the cooking time to get this result?
i thought only indonesian that reuse the oil (in indonesian we said reused oil as "minyak jelantah"). when i see this vidio, hey spanish man reused their oil too.
Julie NYC maybe he's a middle eastern or morrocan descent, spain has quite a history with islamic civilizations in the past
in Turkey we reuse oil as well. but difference is we reuse maybe 100 times lol
kibe ina use it many times in order to make it black and still sell pisang goreng!
The oil tastes better after using a few tiles
We Indians reuse oils too
In Spain 15L oil costs like 2L in US, thats why we use it
Fernando Aguiar Utiliza aceite de girasol es mucho más barato y tiene un sabor neutro que resalta el sabor de las patatas
We are the world's number 1 producers. That's why as well. There is so much varieties for everyone
and in Britain, even more expensive!
@@helenswan705 soon to be more expensive after brexit.
@@HappyroosterYT Eso es porque no usas el aceite de oliva correcto. La patata frita con el aceite de oliva virge extra de una variedad suave como la cornicabra o la pajarera es mil veces mas suave y delicado que el aceite de girasol.
I made this omelette today, I was in Spain last month and I'm moving there soon- I tried to remake the Spanish omelette at home and as it was still yummy, it was like scrambled egg and I used boiled potatos
Omg!! I made this for my mum and 4 year old son today. The caramelised onions omg 😍😍 the best omelette I've ever had. Thank you so much. I will make this often and impress the Spanish people when I move there 😂😍❤
I had never seen or heard of this recipe before, now I'm interested to learn more about Spanish cuisine, thank you!!
Spanish and Greek food is ❤️😍👏
seriously it's just potatoes eggs & onions
@@vega2634 No. She is ignorant
@Barbara Nannucci LMAO Imagine dissing Spanish cuisine...do you think Italy is the only one that can cook? xD
@Barbara Nannucci remove that, or i'm sending you the video of the Guy who made pasta in one pot. (Now seriously, Just leave us, it's really simple but we REALLY like It)
I have been cooking like this for long without knowing this even exist. Does that mean i have some spanish DNA in me?? lmao
jonathan Rachid same here, I always thought that i invented this dish 😂
no it just means that's all you had left in the cupboard and you threw it altogether in the pan lol
IrishComrade No i was bored and looking for something to waste time on since i was alone so i tried this and i used to add green pepper as well...It's crazy what people do when left home alone hahahaha
jonathan Rachid maybe you where living in a early life in Spain Coz this dish is a old old dish and who knows, maybe it's your second life and the first you where Spain origin. :)
it's basically an omelette, it's the steps taken that make it a Tortilla... The Mexican (or really New Mexcian, the Mexicanos stole it from us) tortilla was named after this despite being not similar at all. In the southwest we make home made flour tortillas, and Spanish tortillas with New Mexico green chile peppers or Red Chile (chile colorado) sauce drizzled on top with an egg or something on top.
That Spanish omelette will NEVER serve 4-6 people. 2 hungry bois at most. Great recipe though!
That's because it's not the only course: it could go with a steak, a generous salad and some bread.
I’m quite an expert doing this tortilla española! My great-grandfather was Spanish and my grandmother made it with peas or string Beans! Delicious too.
This is one of those dishes where the whole is really greater than the sum of the parts, and execution is the key to getting the most from the limited ingredients. I made it once and it came out very average. But, I made it another time and it was absolutely gorgeous. Kudos for the recipe :)
"3 mm approximately. Not thinner. Not thicker."
🤣😅🤣😅😅
@Andres Porras ".....approximately. Not thicker. Not Thinner"
@Andres Porras he said approximately so it can be thicker or thinner
"Thees ees a simple peasant dish made from 3 very basic ingredients . . . . .YOU WILL CUT THE POTATOES LIKE AN ARTIST CUTS A DIAMOND OR YOU WILL FAIL ME AND EARN MY ETERNAL SCORN . . . . . . Now, take some eggs THEY MUST BE THE FINEST ORGANIC EGGS FROM CHICKENS RESTING ON BEDS OF SILK AND VELVET . . . . ." . . . . . . . . .
don't scramble or put in the oven you maniacs
I struggled to flip the omlette as suggested: obviously not strong enough! Instead, I slid the half cooked omlette onto a plate (wet side up) than put another plate on top of it, and then turned the plates upside down. I then slipped the flipped back into the non-stick pan. It worked! And tasted fantastic!
Who is also thinking of Giovanni saying "you spanish omelette" to Juan in "Mind your language" ?
Him: Always remember, be generous.
*pours whole 500ml Olive Oil in the pan*
well, you gotta fry the potatos.
Hordas de españoles esperando a que se equivoque en la receta para pedir su sacrificio y va y la hace bien. Qué decepción!
Jajaja, es correcto, es nuestra religión!! La tortilla de patatas es lo más parecido a la felicidad materializada! =D
Jajajajaja tienes razón pero mejor usar un colador para colar las patatas antes de mezclar con los huevos si no queda muy aceitosa
Jajaja.
Comentario crack.
jajajaja , la patata le ha faltado cortarla en trozos mejor .
El chef es español así que era difícil que se equivocase :)
When I did the Camino I had this omelette and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice every morning on the trail. So good!
