Pero si hay algo que merece quitarse el sombrero en mi tierra, \u00a1es la tortilla de patatas! As\u00ed que pong\u00e1monos manos a la obra. Ya ver\u00e9is que es un plato muy sencillo. Para cuatro personas, (o mejor a\u00fan, para menos y poder repetir) necesitaremos los siguientes ingredientes:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5 o 6 huevos<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5 patatas medianas<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 aceite de oliva, indispensable para el toque perfecto<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 sal<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 una cebolla mediana<\/p>\n<p>Si la cocinera soy yo, la cebolla sobra, man\u00edas que tiene una\u2026 En primer lugar troceamos la patata en cuadraditos, y la fre\u00edmos en abundante aceite de oliva bien caliente, y a fuego medio.<\/p>\n<p>Mientras tanto, en un cuenco, batimos los huevos. A\u00f1adimos un poquito de sal, y a seguir batiendo hasta que est\u00e9n bien esponjosos o empiece a dolernos la mu\u00f1eca.<\/p>\n<p>Cuando empiecen a estar doraditas, las retiramos del fuego y quitamos parte del aceite que hemos usado. \u00a1Cuidado para no quemarse! Mezclamos bien las patatas con los huevos en el cuenco, rectificamos de sal, y volvemos a poner todo en la sart\u00e9n. Un peque\u00f1o truco para que salga m\u00e1s suave es a\u00f1adir un chorreoncito de leche.<\/p>\n<p>Para que no se pegue, haremos leves movimientos circulares. A fuego lento, esperaremos a que el huevo est\u00e9 un poco cuajado, y entonces le daremos la vuelta. Se puede usar una tapadera grande, un plato llano o, si el cocinero es experto, lanz\u00e1ndola y volte\u00e1ndola en el aire. Como yo quiero estar segura de que probar\u00e9 la tortilla, uso alguna de las dos primeras opciones. Cuando est\u00e9 hecha por el otro lado, m\u00e1s o menos dorada seg\u00fan el gusto, es hora de apagar el fuego.<\/p>\n<p>La tortilla espa\u00f1ola puede servirse fr\u00eda, caliente, en tacos, para tapear, sola, o acompa\u00f1ada de un buen tomate picado, mahonesa si sois atrevidos, y un buen vino de la tierra. \u00a1Que aproveche!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LA PRIMERA TORTILLA DE PATATAS DE YOUTUBE\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RsIDWHvI0Gc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Spain is famous for its peculiar culture. It also boasts a fair amount of charming cities full of history. The character of its people makes it a sought-after country to spend some vacation time, or even to settle in. But if there is anything that deserves taking your hat off in my country, it is the Spanish omelette! So let\u2019s get to work and make one. You will see that it is a very simple dish. For four people, (or even better, for two, and that way you\u2019ll be able to have seconds) we will need the following ingredients:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5 or 6 eggs<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5 medium-sized potatoes<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Olive oil, essential for the perfect touch<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Salt<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One medium-sized onion<\/p>\n<p>If I am the cook, we can get rid of the onion, my funny ways\u2026 First, we cut the potatoes into little pieces, and fry them in abundant hot olive oil, over medium heat.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in a bowl, we beat the eggs. We add a pinch of salt, and continue beating until they are well aerated or your wrist starts hurting.<\/p>\n<p>When the potatoes start browning, we remove them from the fire and drain the excess oil. Watch out or you\u2019ll burn yourself! We mix the potatoes with the eggs in the bowl, add more salt to your taste, and put everything back in the frying pan. A small trick to make it softer is to add a dash of milk.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent the omelette from sticking, we stir it in slow circular movements. Over a low heat, we wait until the egg starts to cook, and then we flip it. You can use a wide enough lid, a dinner plate, or, if the cook is an expert, by throwing it up and flipping it in the air. Since I want to make sure that I have something left to eat, I will use one of the first two options. When you think the other side is cooked, and brown enough according to your taste, it is time to turn off the fire.<\/p>\n<p><em>La tortilla espa\u00f1ola<\/em> can be served cold, warm, in cubes, as a snack, alone, or with a good fresh tomato salad, mayonnaise if you dare, and a good local wine.
