Really good but needs more salt. If you're on a low salt diet this might be about right but if you're used to normally seasoned food it needs probably twice as much. Next time I'll use Jack cheese as I couldn't really taste the Manchego which is three times the price.

The fresh thyme made it! I avoided flipping the tortilla by cooking it on low/med low for 12-15 minutes then putting it under the broiler for about 15 minutes until it was firm. I was surprised at how delicious it was. I served it with hot sauce and sour cream. Pros: Savory Satisfying A little labor intensive while babysitting it in the broiler

Great for brunch! This made for a delicious brunch. Loved the blend of red potato onion and spinach. We loved having this with salsa 3
It might be delicious but... Well I am Spanish and I live in Spain. And believe me or not Spanish Tortilla doesn't contain paprika spinach thyme cheese... Its only ingredients are eggs potatoes salt and olive oil (nothing like canola oil in fact it is even hard to find it here...) Some people like to add onion to it some people don't do that. Of course we do eat lots of different omelettes but we don't call him Spanish Tortilla I am really surprised when I read I come from an Spanish background and we don't use olive oil because it gives the rest of the ingredients a different taste... Of course it does!! In fact it is one of the most important things in this dish... I ask myself if you mean Spanish background from Spain or from South America... But don't misunderstand what I said I'm sure this recipe is great and savory I am just pointing that it's not very similar to the traditional one. Pros: It is healthy rich in nutrients Cons: Nothing to do with the traditional Spanish one
This is almost identical to the Italian Frittata that my family has made for the past 65 years. I precook the potatoes in the microwave while I am cooking the onion. I find it easy to flip this over the sink using my largest dinner plate. It's worth the effort and if I served it every day no one would complain.
Coming from a Spanish household tortillas were always a part of our menus. Never use olive oil it imparts its own taste. Use instead canola which does not take away from the taste of the ingredients. Whatever u use in your tortilla season well...salt/pepper. Try one with those overripe bananas OMG sweet and awesome. Do one with ground meat cheese onions peas.....salad as a side. Just love them. G
This has quickly become my favorite breakfast! I use the diced potatoes with onions already in them to save on time habanero jack cheese to spice it up a little and put the cover on my pan for a little to help set the top then flipped it. Could definitely use different ingrediants just as easily but the fresh spinach and potatoes are delicioso!
After Living in Spain... and having made innumerable tortilla espanolas since returning my one problem was always the amount of oil you use. Traditionally you fill the pan with an inch of oil to fully cook the potatoes first then the onions second. I would swap the cooking of these two ingredients as the potatoes take much longer. Cook until the are starting to fall apart around the edges and then add the onions. Also allow potato/onion mixture to cool completely before adding to the eggs to prevent the eggs from cooking early. A tip that I like to use to get a really nice set tortilla is to allow the potato/egg mixture to soak in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes. Flipping is very hard but getting a plat that completely covers the pan helps and the plate needs to be flat as well. To prevent sticking coat the pan (bottom and sides) with a little oil. The great thing about tortillas is you can add ANYTHING to them. Cheese meats vegetables.... enjoy!
This looks good but at what point do you add the spinach? The recipe doesn't tell you.
You add the spinach in step 2 of the directions. I love spinach and eggs together and keep this recipe handy for a quick weeknight meal- great for vegetarians!
Great recipe and fairly easy to make. It did taste very much like a traditional Spanish tortilla! I added an additional 1/2 cup of potatoes but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. All the ingredients are added to the beaten eggs before the mixture goes into the pan. Make sure to rearrange the spinach and potatoes before it cooks to much to keep the ingredients even. Flipping this was a little tricky. Best to do that over a smooth counter so clean up of any splashed contents is easy. (I flipped over the stove top and had a little mess to clean up.)
it was good but bland to us. next time i'll use pepper jack cheese and increase the seasonings and add garlic powder. I used a Vidalia onion which I think was too mild for it. i'll use a regular Spanish onion next time. i also want to try taking turkey italian sausage out of casing and cook and add to the mixture. i think that would be wonderful!!
This was delicious but the flipping was difficult. My tortilla got stuck to the bottom of the pan. I think it might be easier to stick it in the broiler for a few minutes to ensure that the center gets done.
I've been making a tortilla espanola for years! One of my all time favorites. Even with experience it is so hard to flip unless you make a small one (in a small pan) - if making a large one a trick is to use a pan that you can put in the oven until the top is set. I only flip it to serve it. Also make sure you cook it over medium to medium-low heat. Electric burners always make me burn it so go lower if an electric stove.
Would definitely make again I put zucchini asparagus spinach onion and potato in mine. I also used a provolone/mozzarella cheese mixture because my youngest doesn't like spicy food. I cooked it on the stove and finished it in the oven. Was fantastic. Can make it with anything you have in the fridge. Pros: Easy Cons: None unless you don't like eggs
Amazing with a Few Tweaks Followed this recipe to a "T" and thought that the bottom was a bit overdone but the potatoes ended up not being cooked completely through. I will definitely make this again but at a slightly lower temperature and a little bit longer cook time. It will be easy to swap in other veggies and cheeses. I'll probably try peppers squash or cottage cheese next to change up the recipe. Pros: Great use of spinach Simple twist on an omelet Cons: Difficult to flip Potatoes not cooked through
