Spanish Omelette Dish: The Heart of Tapas Cuisine

 

A Taste of Spain: The Famous Spanish Omelette

Few dishes capture the soul of Spain quite like the Spanish omelette, also known as Tortilla Española or Tortilla de Patatas. This simple yet flavorful dish, made from eggs, potatoes, and onions, has become a symbol of Spanish home cooking and tapas culture around the world.

Originating from humble beginnings in 19th-century Spain, the Spanish omelette was designed to be nutritious, filling, and easy to make. Today, it’s a staple in both family kitchens and trendy tapas restaurants like Tapas-Mundo, where tradition meets creativity.

How to Make the Perfect Spanish Omelette

To create a truly authentic Spanish omelette dish, you only need a few ingredients — but technique is everything.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 6 eggs
• Olive oil
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Peel and slice the potatoes and onion thinly.
2. Fry them slowly in olive oil until soft, not crispy.
3. Drain the oil and mix the potatoes and onion with beaten eggs.
4. Pour the mixture back into the pan and cook gently on both sides until golden brown.

The result? A soft, juicy omelette with a delicate balance of sweetness from the onion and earthiness from the potato — perfect served warm or at room temperature.
