Potatoes omelet (Spanish omelet) with Dmitri Hvorostovsky

Tortilla de patatas - Potatoes omelet

Some dishes are easy to cook, but for the same reason they may be extremely difficult, for example the “Potatoes omelet” one of the “top ten typical Spanish dishes”.


To cook it, first of all you need music because music makes things better, and to accompany this Spanish omelet I tried an aria very Spanish by chance it was composed by a French music, George Bizet.

As well Dmitri Hvorostovsky you will need:

Oil

Potatoes

Eggs, and

Here the problems begin. Onion or not onion that’s the question.

In my opinion, yes. But in my son Marc opinion, no, absolutely no.

That’s the reason when I cook Potatoes omelet I must cook before the onion, with a bit of oil on a low heat.

First of all peel and cut the potatoes better thin size. Like that.

But I have a friend who cut the potatoes as dice. Everybody has his own omelet.

To cook potatoes better low heat. When potatoes look like that, is time for egg.

Eggs: How many?

It depends, I calculate it at a guess. As a sample here there are eight eggs.

More discrepancy.

Somebody put the egg directly on the pan over the potatoes. I am a bit more cautious because along my life I have spoiled more than one omelet and I prefertaking the potatoes out the pan. Like that.

Why are there two bowls?

Because like I said you before somebody likes onion and the other no.

In consequence I must cook two omelet with four eggs everyone.

If your pan is good you can take out the oil the most. But it depends on whom has used it before and even more, who has cleaned it before you use it.

Sometimes I prefer they don’t clean the pans.

On toreros’s slang, now is “el momento de la verdad” (more or less) “the real moment”

Put the eggs and potatoes, or the eggs, the potatoes and onion, on the pan with hot oil

If oil was on the right temperature, soon it will look like that.

cook it over a low heat.

Now you must flip the omelet.

Somebody the most courageous and also unconscious throw it on the air and later somebody must take mop

I prefer placing either a flat plate or saucepan lid on the frying pan and quickly turning it over.

Like that.

Some minutes more on the heat and that’s all or not.

In fact the great difficulties begin when:

  • Marc: a bit raw without onion
  • Júlia: well-done with onion
  • Xavier: absolutely raw without onion
  • Anna: well-done wit only a bit of onion
  • My husband: Omelet? I prefer...

And the difficulties end when I say:

Today: omelet if you don’t like to take the phone and order a pizza.

Enjoy your meal

See you
