How to Make Spanish Tortilla

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, just until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Onions

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until soft, golden, and caramelized.

Step 3: Add the Wine

• Pour in the white wine and cook for a few minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off. Transfer the onions to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4: Combine the Ingredients

• Crack the eggs into the bowl with the onions. Add the cooked potatoes and season with salt. Mix everything together gently until well combined.

Step 5: Cook the Tortilla

• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and spread it evenly.
• Let it cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the edges begin to set.

Step 6: Flip and Finish

• Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate. Slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side.
• Repeat this flipping process 2–3 times to ensure even cooking and a tender interior.
• The tortilla is ready when it’s golden on the outside and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
