    Damn Pete, that's a really good tortilla. I'm Spanish, and I'm also a cook, I don't know why RUclips recommended this video to me, but when I clicked it, for some reason, I was expecting to get angry at another horrible take on Spanish cuisine by a foreigner, but you absolutely aced it. Mi propia madre podría haber hecho esa tortilla. Te felicito amigo, se nota que sabes perfectamente lo que haces. ¡Un abrazo desde Alicante!

    Nice. I add the onions later though. As Spanish people taught me on the bell pepper preparation I combine red bell peppers and aubergines. No need to put them back on the heat with the garlic - raw garlic combined with the soft vegies and a lot of oil and salt is delicious.

    Thanks for that, Pete! I’m glad to see that you don’t go for the excessively runny tortillas which seem to be popular in Madrid. I understand that customers in one restaurant got food poising because the eggs weren’t properly cooked! For many years I have made my tortillas like you here, although mine are thicker-more eggs too. However, a couple of years ago some young Spanish friends from Burgos introduced me to the “Bra” pan. It is made specifically for tortillas and consists of two small frying pans which connect. The upshot of this is that you don’t need a plate to turn it over and you get a really good result.
    I also use onion and garlic, and have even been known to include a bit of pepper too. But I’m an “inglesito” so not authentic.

    I would never think of Tortilla Espanola as an OMELETTE. I just learned how the potatoes are basically "poached" of deep fried in the oil. Our old Mallorquin housekeeper, Fina, used so much oil we could not believe it. I did not realize that she poured off all the oil before adding the eggs. She never used onion, pepper, or anything but potatoes and eggs. It was PERFECT. It is really more of a potato cake with eggs. Lots of tapas bars make it into a loaf so it is easy to slice but a round pan shape is most common.

    I am never sure whether to enjoy the hell out of the scenery or the cooking first. However, as I conscientiously follow your instructions about the cook having a local beverage on hand (not always for the dish)...I usually have to watch the videos a couple of times. Now: is a recipe book in the writing at all???? Thanks Pete...great as always. Melbourne, Australia

    Pete, any Spaniard will tell you that the tortilla should be gooey in the middle. But great video as usual.

    • @Petespans
      @Petespans  Месяц назад +2

      Careful! Yes, perhaps I should have brought this up in the video. My belief is that whether a tortilla de patatas should be gooey in the center depends on personal preference. Both styles are authentic and delicious in their own right. It also varies from region to region - In Madrid they do like it runny... I went for fully cooked, in line with the style the workers would have taken to the fields (wouldn't want raw eggs in that case!)
      There'd always gonna be controversy with such a preparation, but that's half the fun :)
      Many thanks for tuning in and commenting!
