Instructions
  1. Mandolin the potatoes and the onion into a bowl. Drizzle the oil into a pan on a low -medium heat and add the potatoes. It depends on the type of pan that you use as to how much oil you will have to use. You want to cook the potatoes through without them sticking to the pan. The Spanish tend to use a lot of olive oil at this stage but I don’t find it necessary, especially if you have a good non stick pan. After about 10 minutes add the onions. Cook until the potatoes are cooked through. You do not want to burn the onions or potatoes so they require constant attention.Ensure the heat isn’t too high and stir the potatoes around delicately to make sure everything is cooked through.
  2. Beat the eggs and season well with salt. Add the potatoes mixture to the eggs. Now you can leave the eggs to soak in the potatoes for 20 mins or more however I dint feel this is necessary and impacts on the flavour dramatically. Take the mixture and put it in to a medium heated pan. Once it is cooked on one side (10 Mins) put a plate over the pan and flip the tortilla onto it. Place it back into the pan and cook the other side. After 10 mins it will be done.
Recipe Notes

This is a great dish, the thinner the potatoes the better, you can really whisk and froth up the egg mixture to get in more air so that it puffs up more. Cut in slices you can easily take tortilla to the beach , work or as a whole  you can use it as a  centrepiece at a dinner party.

All the ingredients in this dish were from local farmers around Cornwall, I sourced my ingredients from The Cornish Food Box who work with these farmers to conveniently provide great produce to the public.  It really gives you a great satisfaction knowing that your food is grown locally and it tastes better too.  This recipe was inspired from Spain however it could so easily have originated from here as we have ingredients in abundance. Thanks Spain.

I hope you enjoyed the recipe and hopefully take some homemade tortilla to the beach one day.
