This is my traditional Spanish Crispy, fried potatoes and eggs which can be enjoyed hot or cold, as a starter, main dish or as tapas.

#Spanish_omelette or @Spanish tortilla or #tortilla_de_patatas ,is a traditional dish from Spain.
Celebrated as @national dish by Spaniards, it is an essential part of the Spanish cuisine.
It is an omelette made with eggs and potatoes, optionally including onion.
It is often served at room temperature as a tapa.

The first reference to the tortilla in Spanish is
found in document, as an anonymous "Mousehole's memorial" addressed to the Navarra court in 1817.
It explains :
"…two to three eggs in tortilla for 5 or 6 [people] as our women do know how to make it big and thick with fewer eggs."

Another tale is that the recipe was learnt by Spanish prisoners captured after the the Portuguese Restoration War in 1665.
After the Portuguese victory, more than 6,000 Spanish soldiers were kept in captivity for 3 years.

Tip and Tricks:
You can eat it warm or cold.

Serve with a salad, or use as an appetiser. Great for snacks.

Keep heat on low for cooking tortilla otherwise the eggs set on the outside while runny on the inside. I prefer it done on the inside😁.

Waxy potatoes are the best option because they hold their shape after being cooked.

If you have time, keep mixture sit in the egg  for 15 minutes.
It infuses the eggs with the flavour of onions.

Do not substitute any of the ingredients. You will lose its authentic taste.

If you are worried using too much oil, cook the potatoes for 5 minutes in 1 liter water and sauté  the onion with 2 Tbsp of olive oil until translucent.

This omelette fits perfectly into a frying pan with base size: 7-inch/18-cm.

Do not use heavy pan because you need to turn the omelette by using both hands.

Depends on everyone’s taste, add in any vegetables, crumbled cheese, ham, mushroom, red peppers or cooked sausage. they're non-traditional versions😁

To serve, cut into triangular wedges or in little squares.

The omelette can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Do not freeze omelette, please.

این سیب‌زمینی و تخم‌مرغ سنتی اسپانیایی من است که می‌توان آن را سرد یا گرم، به عنوان پیش غذا، غذای اصلی یا تاپاس نوش جان کرد.

املت اسپانیایی یا تورتیلا اسپانیایی یا تورتیلا د پاتاتا، یک غذای سنتی اسپانیایی است.

این غذا توسط اسپانیایی ها به عنوان یک غذای ملی شناخته می شود و بخشی ضروری و جدا نشدنی از غذاهای اسپانیایی است.

این یک املت است که با تخم مرغ و سیب زمینی سرخ شده تهیه می شود که در صورت تمایل شامل پیاز نیز می شود.

اغلب در دمای اتاق به عنوان تاپا سرو می شود.

اولین اشاره به تورتیلا در اسپانیایی
در سندی، به عنوان "یادبود سوراخ موش" که به صورت ناشناس، خطاب به دادگاه ناوارا  در سال 1817  ارسال شد ، بوده است.
در آن سند این گونه آمده است که:
"...دو تا سه تخم مرغ در تورتیلا برای 5 یا 6 [نفر]، همانطور که زنان ما می دانند چگونه با تخم مرغ های کمتر ، تورتیلایی بزرگ درست کنند."

داستان دیگر این است که:
این دستور توسط زندانیان اسپانیایی که پس از جنگ بازسازی پرتغال در سال 1665 دستگیر شده بودند، آموخته شد.

پس از پیروزی پرتغال، بیش از 6000 سرباز اسپانیایی به مدت 3 سال در اسارت آنها نگهداری شدند.
