Preparing Spanish Omelette
Want to know how this delicious recipe comes together? The process is straightforward and rewarding. Start with peeling and slicing the potatoes (along with the onions, if you choose to use them). Next, you’ll cook the potatoes until they are tender in a skillet with olive oil. After that, simply mix the cooked potatoes with beaten eggs, return the mix to the skillet, and let it cook until golden. It’s all about layering textures and flavors, resulting in a dish that’s both filling and comforting.
What you’ll need
- 4-5 medium potatoes (approximately 600 g)
- 1 medium onion (optional)
- 5-6 large eggs
Feel free to swap out the potatoes for sweet potatoes for a twist on the classic recipe, or add in veggies like bell peppers or spinach for a heartier version.
