The Authentic Tortilla Española | Spanish Potato and Onion Omelet Recipe
To a native Californian like me a “tortilla” is round and flat and only comes in one variety: flour or corn.
So the idea that a tortilla could also be a thick potato omelette took some getting used to. But that's the difference between a Spanish tortilla and a Mexican tortilla.
The Spanish version is made by frying thinly sliced potatoes in extra virgin olive oil. Then the slices are placed in a pan (preferably a cast iron pan). Cover them with beaten eggs and fry until cooked through.
