Optional Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes (about 1/2 inch in size).

  2. 2

    Chop the onion

    Finely chop the onion and set it aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Fry the potatoes

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes and fry for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally.

  2. 4

    Add the onion

    Once the potatoes are almost done, add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.

  3. 5

    Beat the eggs

    In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 6

    Combine ingredients

    Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, drain any excess oil and add them to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Mix well.

Final Cooking

  1. 7

    Cook the tortilla

    Wipe the skillet clean and add a little more olive oil if necessary. Pour the potato and egg mixture back into the skillet. Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

  2. 8

    Flip the tortilla

    To flip the tortilla, place a large plate over the skillet, carefully invert the skillet to transfer the tortilla to the plate, and then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes.

  3. 9

    Cube the tortilla

    Once the tortilla is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and let it cool. Cut the tortilla into small cubes for serving.

  4. 10

    Garnish and serve

    If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley and smoked paprika before serving. Enjoy your Spanish tortilla cubes warm or at room temperature.
