Welcome back to my channel guys! my name is James, Today I’m gonna be showing you how to make something, that I’ve had of a lot of requests about. I’m going to show you how to make a very easy Spanish tortilla or a Spanish Omelette. now it’s a very common thing to have over here and it’s also a thing that whenever you look for a recipe online everyone’s going to say that they have the perfect recipe because in essence. it’s very simple to make, honestly! but some people do have a little variance in the recipes, some mushrooms to it, someone had onions and some will even have with tapas or make little tortilla sandwiches out of during the summer for picnicking or whatnot. so today I’m going to be showing you how to make a very easy and simple to tortilla that you can do in your own home. we’re only going to be using three ingredients but we’re going to try to perfect these ingredients to get the most amount of flavor out of them. so before we get going be sure to like the video down below and to Subscribe to the channel! and let’s get started! okay, so the first ingredient is going to be the onions. first I’m going to julienne the onion, you’re gonna cut them both sides and then you’re just gonna cut thin slices, not too thick and not too thin, because we want to cook this first because we’re going to caramelize the onions, so it’ll give the tortilla a little more flavor when we’re cooking it. now I’m gonna take the potatoes once you have them peeled. you’re just going to cut in the middle and then you’re gonna cut again down the sides. you’re going to turn them and you don’t want them too thick we’re gonna cut thin because we want everything to cook at the same time so you’re gonna cut more or less about three millimeters, three or four. so more or less the size for everything, if you cut everything the same size then it’s gonna cook at the same time and you’re not going to be overcooking anything or undercooking any potatoes. now we’re gonna add the oil, now we’re going to add a decent amount of oil too. about 500 milliliters or a little more and I’m gonna use the big pan to cook in because it’s going to cook a little faster having more space so I can add a bit more volume if I need to and then I’m going to show you a little trick at the end, but also remember to save the oil. oil here in Spain is very cheap, so we use a lot of it we use it in everything but with the tortillas, you’re going to filter it and save it at the end and you can reuse it another three or four times. once you cut the onions now we’re going to add them first because we want to caramelize them, alright once you have the potatoes cut you’re going to add them as well and I’m making a few more because I’m not just gonna make one tortilla today I’m gonna make one or two and if you need a bit more oil you can add a little more. ooh a lot of potatoes you’re gonna put it on medium to low heat we’re gonna keep an eye on it and this is gonna cook for about 10 to 13 minutes we’re going to keep checking it you can take a knife and you’re gonna check the potatoes or you can use a spatula but remember to move occasionally the onions and the potatoes otherwise they’re just going to cook on the bottom and you want everything to be equally cooked, so after about 15 minutes you want to check it you want the onions this color you want the caramelization and you want this color on the potatoes on the onions. it may take a little longer than 15 minutes if it takes a little longer than 15 minutes don’t worry about it because everybody’s pan may cook a little differently and you’re not going to be using the same pan that I’m using, so it’s gonna be a little different. okay I’m gonna take about 5 eggs, so now I’m going to show you a little trick that we use in the kitchen when making the tortillas. so obviously we like to make a lot, because we don’t want to make just one, because it’s a waste of time but what you can do is you can take the mixture and you can put it in the pan that you’re going to make the tortilla in to see more or less how much you need to make the tortilla. so for what we made this is gonna make literally just one tortilla for this size pan, which is about a 20 centimeter size pan now we’re gonna add this directly to the eggs be sure to drain off any excess oil because you do not want this to be too oily, add a bit of salt and just stir it in like I said try not to crush the potatoes, now this is a little liquidy right now, but what we’re going to do, is we’re going to let this sit for about 15 minutes and then we’re going to come back and it’s going to be a little more compact after about 15 minutes we’re going to check it and as you can see it’s not as liquidy, the eggs have been absorbed a little bit. now we’re going to cook. you’re gonna cook it on high heat for about 1 minute and then we’re gonna put it on medium for about 2 to 3 minutes, then we’re going to check it and we’re going to flip, okay you’re gonna get the pan nice and hot we’re gonna take the best nonstick pan that you have. trust me, you’re gonna need the best one that you can get. then you’re going to put a little bit of oil in the pan and now we’re going to add the eggs we’re gonna add everything okay it’s been about 3 minutes now we’re gonna take a plate remember to take a plate that’s bigger than the pan for obvious reasons, you don’t want any accidents now I haven’t told this at all I’m just checking to make sure that the sides are not sticking. because the older your pan is especially if it’s nonstick you are gonna have a little bit of difficulty trying to get this out. alright so we’re going to take the plate we’re gonna put it directly over the pan and you’re gonna pick up with your other arm and then you’re gonna flip and it’s good! now we’re gonna put it back in the pan and you’re going to put it in the furthest into the pan first just like this now we’re going to cook this for another 1 minute on high heat and then another 2 minutes on medium heat. okay it’s been another 3 minutes we’re going to flip it again you’re gonna take a plate put it over and flip and there you have a nice tortilla. you can check a tortilla just like a piece of meat by poking and touching in the middle if it’s a little soft if you want it more done, you can leave it in the pan and the residual heats going to cook it a little more or if you want a quick fix you can pop it in the microwave for a second. okay now’s the moment of truth we’re gonna cut it I’m just gonna cut a little wedge and there you have a perfect tortilla, it’s a little underdone and I know for most people that they won’t like this, but if you want like I said you can cook this a little longer or pop it in the microwave but as you can see the onions are caramelized and so are the potatoes, so very easy tortilla that you can make in your own home anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this video if you want to try something a little different with the tortilla you can do what we do here in Catalonia you can take some pan con tomate a which is just bread and tomato. you take a loaf of bread you toast it, you take a tomato, a ripe tomato, you wash it, cut it in half, spread the tomato juice on the bread, put a little bit of extra-virgin olive oil on it and if you want a little bit of salt and then you can eat that with the tortilla is very common here in Catalonia or like I said earlier if you want to just eat it with tapas and have some croquette and a few other things is super easy to do!
