🇪🇸 Spain recipe

Tortilla Española

Spain's most beloved comfort food, found in every bar and home kitchen across the country. Thinly sliced potatoes are gently poached in a generous amount of olive oil until tender, then bound with beaten eggs and cooked into a thick, golden omelette. The debate over whether to include onion rages on, but this version includes it for its sweetness.
