Steps:
- Lightly beat the eggs, season with a generous sprinkle of salt, and set aside.
- In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and gently cook until translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the potatoes and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes have completely fallen apart. Take care to keep the heat low enough that the potatoes and onions don't take on any color.
- Drain the onions & potatoes through a colander, reserving enough olive oil for cooking the tortilla.
- Season the potato and onion mixture with salt and mix with the beaten eggs; it should be roughly equal parts potatoes and eggs as you want the mixture to be just barely held together with the eggs.
- Heat a 10" nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil from the potatoes and onions. Pour the potato and egg mixture into the pan and leave it alone for 2 minutes until the bottom starts to set up. Gently shake the pan to release the eggs from the edge to make sure they're not sticking at all. Cook for 5 minutes or so until the bottom is set but the top is very wet.
- Place a large, flat plate on top of the skillet, hold it tightly, and in one quick motion flip over the pan and the tortilla.
- Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and return it to the heat. Add another tablespoon of the cooking oil and carefully slip the tortilla back into the pan. Using a rubber spatula, carefully tuck the edges of the tortilla into the pan and cook for another 3 minutes. Flip one or two more times to get a rounded edge. (OK I skipped that part)

AUTHENTIC SPANISH TORTILLA RECIPE (TORTILLA ESPANOLA)
Steps:
- Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
- Heat up extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and add the potatoes. Ensure using enough olive oil so that the potatoes are fully covered.
- When the potatoes are completely cooked, drain them in a colander using a paper towel. This way, the towel will soak most of the oil, and the leftover oil can be used later in other recipes.
- Slice the onions in vertical long slices and add them to the frying pan with a bit of olive oil.
- Sauté the onion slices over medium heat until they start to caramelize. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes depending on the flame.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl (ensure doing this at room temperature), and add a bit of salt which will help your eggs retain most of the moisture when you're cooking them. Note: Use around 2 eggs per potato for the ideal flavor.
- Add the caramelized onions and the potatoes to the beaten eggs and mix everything. Once everything is nicely mixed, let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Pour the tortilla mixture into the frying pan gently, and set the flame on medium-low heat. DO NOT cook your Tortilla Espanola over an extremely hot pan, as it can burn or overcook which is not something you want.
- Grab a large plate to flip the tortilla. Ensure using a plate that is larger than the pan, as it will successfully flip the tortilla without scrambling it. Put the plate on top of your pan, and flip it quickly. It may be runny, but that's how it is before the other side is cooked as well.
- Slowly slide the tortilla back into the frying pan and let the other side cook on a medium flame for an additional 6-8 minutes. If you like your tortilla fully cooked, you can let it cook a little bit more before taking it off the pan.
- Flip the tortilla again but on a clean plate this time. Let it cool down for 10 minutes before devouring, as the recipe tastes a whole lot better at room temperature.

TORTILLA WITH CHORIZO
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Heat canola oil in a 12-inch nonstick or cast iron saute pan over medium high heat. Add onions and peppers, cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo, potatoes, garlic, and cilantro stirring carefully as to not break up the potatoes, cook 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl whisk eggs with a pinch of salt until well blended. Add eggs to the pan with the chorizo mixture. Stir gently with a heatproof spatula, allowing the bottom to cook, pulling away at the sides to allow the egg on top to run underneath as if cooking an omelet.
- When eggs are mostly set but still a little runny place pan in oven for about 5 minutes until set and slightly puffed and brown on top.
- Remove from oven. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a heavy 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add potatoes and onion, and season with salt. Cover, and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes and onion to a bowl. Add chorizo to skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Transfer chorizo and pan drippings to potato-onion mixture. Reserve skillet.
- Add eggs to potato-onion mixture, and season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat skillet with more oil if needed, and heat over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture; stir to combine and press to flatten. Cook, running a flexible spatula around the edges occasionally, until edges set and center is slightly runny, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Place a plate, upside down, over skillet, and invert tortilla onto plate. Slide tortilla, cooked side up, back into skillet. Cook over low heat until completely set in the center, 3 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate, and let cool slightly before cutting into squares or wedges.
SPANISH TORTILLA WITH CHORIZO, PIQUILLO PEPPERS AND GURROXTA CHEESE
Steps:
- For the chorizo: Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the oregano, cumin, paprika, cayenne and cinnamon and cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and cook until reduced. Remove from the heat, transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- Mix in the ground pork gently to combine. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- For the tortilla: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden brown. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Return the pan over medium heat.
- Whisk together the eggs in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the cheese, parsley, peppers and chorizo and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Add the egg mixture to the pan, moving it around in the pan to help the tortilla to rise. Fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally, until it has set. Transfer to the oven and bake until set, about 15 minutes.
- When the tortilla is firm, remove from the oven, place a large plate over the pan and flip the tortilla onto it. Cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Either by hand or with a pastry cutter, cut in the shortening till the mixture is crumbly. If the mixture looks more floury than crumbly, be sure to add just one or two more tablespoons of shortening till it is crumbly. Add about 3/4 cup hot water to the mixture, or just enough to make the ingredients look moist.
- With your hand or a large fork, knead the mixture making sure to rub the dough against the sides of the large mixing bowl to gather any clinging dough. If the dough still sticks to the side of the bowl, add a couple more tablespoons of flour until the dough forms a soft round shape. The dough is ready to roll out now, but it is best to let it rest. Cover it with a dish towel, and let it sit for about an hour or so.
- Take the dough, and pull it apart into 10 to 12 balls. Lightly flour your rolling area, and roll each ball with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Place each tortilla on a medium hot cast iron skillet. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla does not look doughy.

Steps:
- Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add half of the potato slices, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. When done, remove potatoes to a large bowl, leaving oil in the skillet. Cook the remaining potatoes in the oil until tender, then add to the bowl, leaving oil in the skillet. Gently toss potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion rings, and gently cook until soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Spoon onions onto a plate, and allow to cool while the potatoes finish cooking.
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in cooled onions, roasted peppers, and serrano ham. Gently fold in cooked potatoes.
- Heat the skillet with the reserved oil over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, and gently cook until the sides have started to set and the bottom has turned golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Loosen the tortilla with a spatula if needed, then carefully slide onto a large plate. Turn the skillet upside down and place onto the uncooked side of the tortilla. Turn the skillet right-side-up, and remove the plate. Return the skillet to the stove, and continue cooking until the tortilla has set in the center, about 4 minutes.
- Slide the tortilla onto a serving plate and allow to cool to room temperature. Cut into six wedges and sprinkle with parsley to serve.

SIMPLE SUPPER: SPANISH TORTILLA WITH CHORIZO
Steps:
- In an 8-inch skillet that's 1 1/2 inches deep, heat two-thirds of the olive oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, add potatoes, and cook for 10 minutes. Add onions, season with salt, and cook for 10 minutes more. Stir in chorizo, garlic, and parsley, being careful not to crush potatoes; cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl to cool slightly.
- Lightly oil a large plate; set aside. Wipe skillet clean using paper towels; heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, gently mix eggs into cooled potato mixture; add mixture to pan. Cook until eggs are half cooked, gently pulling edge of tortilla toward the center so any uncooked liquid runs underneath. Let sit, untouched, over low heat until underside of tortilla is almost cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Slide tortilla onto oiled plate, and invert back into pan; cook until both sides are cooked and the center is still soft. Slide tortilla onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
TORTILLA ESPAñOLA
Perhaps the most Spanish of all tapas, this potato omelet makes a satisfying meal on its own; you can also serve it as a part of a spread with jamón, serrano, chorizo, cheese, olives and piquillo peppers. Poaching the potatoes and onions in olive oil makes them almost creamy. (Keep the infused oil in the fridge; it's great for dipping bread or other uses.)

Steps:
- Place the onions, pepper and garlic in a large bowl. Peel the potatoes, quarter them lengthwise, and slice those crosswise into 1/8th inch tiles. (A mandoline is great for this.) Add them to the onion mixture and season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
- Heat the oil over high heat in a 12-inch, deep-sided skillet (preferably nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron). Drop 1 potato tile into the oil as it heats; when it floats and then begins to fry vigorously, carefully add all the potato-onion mixture and stir gently.
- Cook the potatoes at a vigorous simmer, stirring occasionally so they don't brown too much on the bottom, until they are very soft but not quite losing their shape, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes through a colander and let them cool until warm.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Taste the potatoes for salt and season the eggs with salt accordingly. Stir the potatoes into the eggs.
- Place the skillet over medium high heat. When it is very hot, pour in the potato mixture, spread evenly and turn heat to medium. Using a spatula, gently pull the edges of the tortilla towards the center to release them from the pan and let any liquid egg run out the sides.
- After 4 minutes, cover the pan with the bottom of an oiled baking sheet. Using towels or oven mitts, carefully flip the pan onto the sheet, place the pan back over the heat, then slide the inverted tortilla back into the pan. Cook, without stirring, for 3 minutes. Both sides of the tortilla should be golden brown.
- Insert a long skewer into the side of the tortilla to see how wet it is inside. Some prefer the inside a little moist, some fully cooked. You can continue to cook it, flipping the tortilla as described once a minute, until it's done to your liking. Serve warm or at room temperature.
