Classic Spanish Tortilla with Potatoes and Onions

Venture into the heart of Spanish cuisine with a dish that’s as humble as it is heroic—our star today is a fluffy, golden delight that’s basically a potato and onion omelet wearing a cape. It’s the kind of meal that whispers sweet nothings to your taste buds while flexing its versatility muscles.
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
- Add the sliced potatoes and onions to the skillet, spreading them evenly. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned, about 10 minutes. Tip: Keep the heat medium to avoid browning the potatoes too quickly.
- While the potatoes cook, beat 6 large eggs with 1 tsp salt in a large bowl until well mixed.
- Once the potatoes are tender, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the bowl with the eggs, leaving the oil in the skillet. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Tip: This resting time is crucial for a cohesive tortilla.
- Pour the egg and potato mixture back into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook over low heat until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny, about 8 minutes. Tip: Low and slow is the key to a perfectly set tortilla without burning the bottom.
- Carefully flip the tortilla using a large plate or lid. Slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side until golden and set, about 4 minutes.
Zesty and satisfying, this tortilla is a textural dream—creamy in the middle with a slight crisp on the outside. Serve it warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a dollop of aioli or a simple side salad for a meal that’s anything but ordinary.

- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Tip: A fork works wonders here for getting that perfect whisk without the mess.
- Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the black beans and corn to the skillet, stirring to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes. Tip: Listen for the sizzle – that’s your cue everything’s heating just right.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, gently shaking the pan to distribute evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for 2 minutes to set the bottom.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set. Tip: The tortilla should jiggle slightly in the center when shaken – it’ll firm up as it cools.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. This patience-testing step ensures your slices are clean and pretty.
Velvety eggs hug the hearty black beans and sweet corn in every bite, making this tortilla a textural dream. Serve it with a dollop of sour cream or salsa for an extra kick, or just dive in as is – we won’t judge.
