Comment préparer Traditional Spanish Omelette
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Place them in a large bowl.
- Add the thinly sliced onion and thickly sliced bell pepper to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Season generously with salt and mix well.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the potato mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned (about 20-25 minutes).
- Remove the potato mixture from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together with the minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add the drained potato mixture to the whisked eggs. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated. If the mixture seems too dry, add one or two more eggs until it coats the potatoes well.
- Lightly grease a non-stick skillet (8-10 inches) with olive oil or cooking spray. Pour the egg and potato mixture into the skillet.
- Cook over medium-low heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bottom is set and the edges start to brown.
- Using a plate, carefully flip the tortilla. Slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook the other side for another 10-12 minutes, or until both sides are golden and cooked through.
- Avoid overcooking, as this will dry out the tortilla.
- Once cooked, let the tortilla cool slightly before slicing it into 2-inch squares (or larger slices for serving as a main dish).
- Serve warm or cold with a fresh salad and crusty bread. ¡Buen provecho!
