Spring (April–June) 2026 COTM and Cooking-From JOSE ANDRES

TORTILLA ESPANOLA

What’s not to love in a potato omelette? The proportion here is 1 lb potatoes to 6 eggs. I used 4 eggs to fit my pan, and scaled down the potato accordingly.

There are several variations on tortillas available across his books, using mushrooms, asparagus, even tuna.

I used frozen grated potatoes instead of dicing or slicing them. I also find it easier to flip the tortilla by sliding the cooked side onto a plate – instead of flipping it onto the plate uncooked side down (much messier). And I like it just set, not runny in the middle (like all my omelettes).

Need to make alioli to accompany this before I eat the whole thing as is.
