Tortilla Española

Rate & Review

(167 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Tortilla española exists in almost every corner of Spain: as a tapa in fancy city restaurants; as a filling for bocadillos (sandwiches) at gas-station cafés; as a main course served on worn metal plates in home kitchens. Mario Batali’s version, based on one he tasted in the Ribera del Duero wine region, is baked until golden brown and offers an especially high ratio of potatoes to eggs.

Pairing Suggestion

Across Spain, white wines are undergoing a renaissance, with better bottlings being produced from nearly every region. For this classic tapa, pour a white with substance, for instance a white Rioja with a touch of oak. Two to look for: silky 2006 Palacios Remondo Plácet and vanilla-inflected 2006 Cune Monopole Blanco.

Tortilla Española

This is the typical spanish omelet, you can make it like this or add spanish chorizo sausage and make an alioli on the side, if your pan is too big for the oven, you cna  make it on the stove top and flip it

This is a simple, classic dish that I often get a tapas restaurants. The classic recipe uses no spice, except for salt & pepper. The extra flavor would come from a very garlicky mayonnaise with pimento that is often served with this dish. Mario should have included this in the recipe, as I believe it's essential to the dish.

The recipe is not very helpful in its directions.  My broiler won't accomodate a large pan.  I'll make half.  Is he calling the finished product a tortilla?  If Mario is making this I am sure it will be delicious.  One star fro poor directions
