Tortilla Española Recipe
This week my friend made pinchos (tapas on a stick) of tortilla Española and it was soo good. This delicious potato omelette is one of Spain’s staple tapas. You will find it in every tapas bar and, if you’re lucky, at your friend’s house.
As you know, I’m not the most talented cook, but I’ve found that the recipe below is very easy. Try it this weekend, and of course, take a picture. I want to see your beautiful creations!

wow, this was a lot of tempting food. I have posted a question about Alicante, maybe you could check it out?
I´m sorry I don´t know any shop in Alicante, but here is a place to have fun.
The terrace of the Hospes Hotel in Alicante.
Hope this helps.
Hola!! I love your site, I just stumbled across it on facebook. One recommendation to your recipe that my señora taught me when I was studying in Spain (She made the absolute BEST tortilla española). Beat the egg whites first until they foam up. Then slowly add the yolks. Everything else you do the same, but it makes the tortilla nice and fluffy
WOW!! That sounds great!! Next time I´ll try your tip!! By the way, today I had the best tortilla ever!! In a place called La Española in Madrid!! Amazing!!
I agree with Chelsea’s comment…my grandmother, who was a chef in Cuba, makes her the same way to this day…She beats the whites first, then gently folds into the mixture. Delish everytime!
