Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic Spanish tortilla? Prepare your ingredients. Take medium-sized potatoes and larger eggs. If you have small ones, then take more. Wash vegetables and eggs well and dry.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the bell pepper from seeds and cut into small cubes or strips.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the potatoes and cut into thin circles or half circles if the potatoes are large.

4. STEP 4

   

   Break the eggs into a deep bowl. Salt, pepper and beat until smooth. A simple fork will be enough; the tortilla does not need any fluffiness.

5. STEP 5

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place potatoes in it, lightly salt.

6. STEP 6

   

   Toss well to coat each potato slice with oil.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place bell peppers and stewed potatoes into beaten eggs.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix everything carefully, trying to keep the potato slices intact.

10. STEP 10

    

    Return the resulting mass to the pan and smooth it out. Cook on low for about 5 minutes, using a silicone spatula to loosen the edges of the tortilla from the pan.

11. STEP 11

    

    Then cover the pan again and fry the dish for about 2-3 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Now you will need to turn the tortilla over to the other side. To do this, remove the lid and place a wide dish on top.

13. STEP 13

    

    Holding the dish firmly, invert the pan so that the tortilla is on the plate.

14. STEP 14

    

    Add a little vegetable oil to the pan and return the tortilla to fry on the other side. Cook it for about 5 more minutes.

15. STEP 15

    

    Transfer the finished tortilla to a plate and serve. This is how beautiful it turns out, with a golden crust and interspersed with pieces of bell pepper. Bon appetit!

Today we have a classic Spanish tortilla for breakfast using this wonderful recipe. The dish takes a little longer to prepare than a regular scrambled egg or omelet, but it's worth it. Especially if you love potatoes as much as we love them, in any form, at any time of the day. The breakfast turned out to be super filling and, of course, aromatic and tasty. I took canned pepper and opened a jar of lecho. I don’t think the taste of the dish lost much because of this. For those who need to thoroughly “refuel” in the morning, I recommend this wonderful Spanish tortilla. Cook with pleasure! Our thanks to the author of the recipe!
