Tortilla de Patatas | Secrets of Spanish Cooking | Chef José Andrés

Have you ever tried the famous Spanish omelet, or as we call it in Spain, tortilla de patatas? This dish is for tapas - not tacos people! It's an omelet of eggs, gently fried potatoes, and olive oil-poached onions...what's not to like?? Tortilla is eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a snack, making it one of the most versatile dishes on the planet. Inspired by one of the greatest tortillas in the world, at Casa Dani in Madrid, I crafted our recipe with my friend and fellow Spaniard, Chef Nicolás López, so that you can enjoy the same flavors as we do when we go to Spain. Watch this video now to learn the secrets to perfecting a tortilla and visit Jaleo, Spanish Diner, or Mercado Little Spain to try ours for yourself.

I’m making it! The way he says potatoes gets me lol

[@robertadaversa2503]

I had this yesterday at the Spanish Diner at Hudson Yards. It was exquisitely delicious. Paired with their amazing gazpacho, and gracious service, this lunch was the highlight of my day in NYC. It totally upstaged my visit to the Whitney!

[@MPBA.42]

Perfectly made. Not runny not dry.

[@lindaboo3220]

I love a good Spanish tortilla and fortunately (for me) I have a neighbor from Spain who makes these for get-togethers 💖💖👍👍

[@emilioserranorosa]

The secret is "olive oil", onion is optional

[@OptionZero]

Elegant in its simplicity, and this Chef executed it with such care.

¡Finalmente una tortilla como Dios manda! ¿Qué tipo de cebollas usáis aquí en EE.UU, Spanish, white, sweet? Siempre uso las patatas Yukon pero sigo sin encontrar la cebolla perfecta. ¡Gracias!

[@twotrackcat]

Beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@peteaiello1784]

Looks amazing. Humble ingredients is what make tapas so great!

[@rowena4296]

Best egg dishes I’ve ever had was in Spain, from the simple omelet in Barcelona to tortilla in San Sebastián. I’ve never thought that those humble dishes will be on my top list of food I’ve ever had.

[@ringring6618]

I agree! It’s been 32 years since I was there and still crave the tortilla!!

[@blueshorecreative3146]

Hola from Australia! Thanks mate. Another piece of knowledge for my cooking.

[@clauuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

[@k.s5889]

I'm making this tortilla tomorrow for breakfast

[@davidmillar2052]

Bar Nestor in San Sebastian is said to make the best tortilla in Spain. One trick learnt from them is to slice the potato in thin wedges, so that the thin ends melt whilst cooking to give a creamier tortilla whilst keeping the thick ends more solid in the finished tortilla. Otherwose as in this video.

[@RenoRekoo]

The test test, very nice

[@pvogeler]

looks like the one at Bodega Ardosa Madrid!

[@masoodrazaq]

Casa Dani is definitely quite runny. This is more medium cooked between runny and firm. Good stuff.

[@kutekittykatproductions]

What is the ideal oil temperature?
How many potato/onion/eggs?

[@roberluancoluanco]

Tortilla is the most popular tapa or dinner in Spain.
It is near imposible to find two identical.

[@metalfacemartinez]

I believe he also as a tortilla recipe using salt and vinegar potato chips. I made it and it was really good!

[@cobos8334]

Nop

[@sie7e]

a real spanish chef will never do that

[@felicetanka]

Spain has been exporting olive oil to Italy for 2000 years.

[@UsagiMaddie]

Being Mexican, I never knew that a tortilla in Spain is something totally different...😅

[@thesmithsmaf]

Lovely, I make Portuguese Tortillas here in Soajo, with all Portuguese ingredients they are even more delicious than the Spanish ones. Long live the tortillas

[@waterrabbitmn]

what ratio of ingredients?

[@mar_casabuena7503]

Una cebolla 1 onion grande, 4 huevos XL eggs y 4 patatas de tamaño mediano.

[@srdiogorusso]

no salt?

[@whimsicalhamster88]

I lived in Madrid in college and my roommate made this so damn well that I told her I wished I could marry her just to eat them all of the time. Unfortunately I'm gay, lol.

[@Matt-rb9sc]

What would be a good temp for the oil while it confits?

[@chefjoseandres]

280 degrees to 290 degrees Fahrenheit works best. Good Luck!

[@elviritaification]

@@chefjoseandresestaba buscando esta respuesta. Gracias!

[@alvarezandre]

el ruidito que hace el plato al chocar contra la sartén para darle la vuelta...ojo! eso ya es como "que viene! que viiiene!"

[@PopDisplay1]

no seasoning?? no salt? not pepper?

[@jalejandromartin7642]

Salt no pepper

[@susanaescriba977]

Solo una cosa ¿ Podéis dejar de relacionar todas las recetas con Tapas? Muchos extranjeros creen que solo comemos Tapas.

[@enricvision]

En serio pone toda esa cantidad de aceite para terminar la tortilla?🤦‍♂

[@carmelazzo]

Frittata di patate, tanto olio. The end.

[@alvarorodriguez1592]

Frittata di patate è come si chiama il piatto. Bravo.

[@SteveStevens-sp7ly]
