Authentic Tortilla Española Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more if needed
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika, or to taste
• 1 sweet Spanish onion, thinly sliced
• 6 eggs eggs
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 bunch fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Get all your ingredients ready. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the potatoes to the hot oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Pan-fry the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 8 minutes.
3. Add the onion and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and onion are lightly browned and the onion is translucent, about 10 more minutes. Take the skillet off the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Stir in the parsley, then gently fold in the potato-onion mixture until just combined.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully spoon the egg-potato mixture into the hot oil. Lower the heat to medium-low and shake the skillet gently to prevent sticking. Slide the skillet into the preheated oven.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the omelette is puffed and golden brown, about 5 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Cut into wedges and serve your delicious Tortilla Española!
