The simplest (vegetarian) Spanish tortilla The simplest (vegetarian) Spanish tortilla
Number of Servings: 2

Ingredients

    2 large eggs
    250 grams Potatoes
    1/2 Onion
    2 cloves Garlic
    1 tsp Olive Oil
    Salt
    Pepper

Tips

This works best with a pan that has a good teflon coating.

The tortilla can be served hot or made beforehand and eaten cold, at a picnic, for example.


Directions

Parboil the potatoes, whole. This will avoid having to fry them and use tons of oil. Make sure they are still firm when you take them out, and let them cool.

Chop the onion and garlic, and fry in a small frying pan with the olive oil, for two or three minutes. Cut the potatoes into thin slices and add.

Meanwhile, whip the eggs a bit (they don't need to be too fluffed up, but a couple of minutes helps) and season with salt and pepper. Then add to the frying pan. Make sure all the potatoes are covered, and tilt the pan in all directions to make sure the egg covers all the sides equally. Cover the pan and lower the heat. Leave for five minutes and check.

When the egg looks mostly cooked (just a bit runny on the top), you need to flip the tortilla. Use a large plate, cover the pan with it, and turn it upside-down. Then carefully slide it back into the pan, and cook it for two or three more minutes.

Flip onto a plate as you did before, and then from there onto another plate, to serve right side up.

Serving Size: Makes a small Spanish tortilla, either for two as a main, or for four as a side dish.
