Tortilla Baby!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 small potatoes peeled and cut into thin slices
  • 1 white onion cut into slices
  • 1 spring onion cut into slices
  • 1 tsp garlic powder / 2 freshly grated garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp Pimenton
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste / chicken stock cube

Instructions

  • In a non-stick pan add the olive oil and cook the onions om medium heat for about 5-10 minutes until they are caramelized.
  • Then add the sliced potatoes and stir well for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes cover the pan with a lid and cook the potatoes on a low heat for about 15-20 minutes.
  • In the meantime crack the eggs in a bowl and season with garlic powder, Pimenton, chili powder and salt & pepper or a chicken stock cube. Also add the spring onion. Mix well.
  • After 15-20 minutes add the potatoes and onions to the eggs and stir carefully. Transfer the mixture to the pan and cook the tortilla for another 15-20 minutes on a low heat. Turn it over after 10 minutes by sliding it on a plate. Then put the pan on top of the plate and turn it over to cook it further.
  • When the tortilla is done serve with aioli, bread and a salad. I love to eat mine with a generous smear of aioli and some pickled gherkins and marinates olivesNOTE: My Tortilla isn't as thick as the authentic Spanish version, because I like to eat mine with bread as well. If you want a thicker tortilla use a smaller pan. Mine pan was about 24 cm / 9 inch. TIPS: - Prepare this Tortilla the night before and heat it up in a pan/oven. It’s also delicious cold.- Serve with homemade or store-bought aioli. - Use a smaller pan to create a thick and authentic Spanish Torttilla.If you make my recipes please tag me in them and use #thespicedchickpearecipes.
