Spanish Tortilla 🇪🇸
Five ingredients, one pan, no blog essay required. The trick is patience. Cook the onions and potatoes slow and low so they confit in olive oil rather than fry, then bind them with eggs and finish on the second side by sliding it onto a plate and flipping it back in.


:QUOTE [quotetype:plain, subtitle:Spanish kitchen maxim]
A good tortilla is judged by the wobble. Set on the outside, still trembling in the middle.


:NOTE.half
Use waxy potatoes, not floury ones. They hold their shape when stirred and slice cleanly through the finished tortilla.

:NOTE.half
The flip is the only intimidating bit. Use a plate wider than the pan, commit to the motion, and accept that the first one in your life may not be perfect.


:NOTE
Do not rush the onions. If they brown, the tortilla loses its sweetness and turns harsh. Fifteen minutes on low heat is the floor, not the ceiling.
