    My Hungarian mother would cook something similar for my stepfather (a Spaniard). She bought Spanish cookbooks to make some of his favorite Spanish foods. She put chorizo, onions, peppers, along with the (mostly) potatoes and garlic. She would add Sazon seasoning with saffron (real or just coloring? IDK). Still love and make it myself to this day. Yes, we flip the same way! She also made a mean Paella (I make a shellfish-less version with chicken and chorizo since spouse is allergic). Not bad for a Hungarian! ❤ Love, Health and Peace to you!

    In 1994 I did a summer exchange in Spain. Beautiful country and amazing food. My host mom made me tortillas to take to the beach with my friends. Image my American surprise when I opened the tin foil to find an omelet.

    Brilliant trick to put the potato mix into the egg mix. I imagine the heat will slowly begin the egg coagulation, meaning it'll be easier to cook the eggs through and achieve that solid 1-2-cm (0.5"-1") thickness. Much obliged, amigo y hombre -- and as always: salutări cordiale și mult respect din România ! 🇷🇴😎

  • @rosej9686

    My Spanish mother would make this often but she would just add the egg mixture into the pan when the potatoes were cooked. I like your idea of letting the potatoes "marinade" in the egg mixture to allow the melding of flavors. Riquisimo!❤

      All those additions sound great! I love that about his recipes, they are customizable because they use simple ingredients and teach lots of useful techniques.
      Omelets remind me of happy times at my parents' lake house when Dad made us all his famous "garbage" omelets that had a little of everything, served with a side of one of his delicious homegrown sliced ripe tomatoes. So good, and very filling.
      He was an E. Texas farm boy during the Great Depression and learned to use what they had to make a hearty breakfast before working in the fields. Since they had lots of chicken eggs, sausage from their hogs, homemade cheese and butter and all kinds of vegetables from my grandmother's garden, omelets were the perfect dish!

    I always remove the outer layers of the onion too because they are tougher, and I feed them to my goats. It's not like their breath could get worse!
    Then I can easily use the grater on my mandoline to shred the onion (after putting the onion in the freezer for 20 minutes or more) which is easier for me than dicing. I found one of those older "as seen on TV" Ronco kitchen gadgets at a thrift store that's a mandoline with interchangeable cutting parts that sits atop a plastic box to catch the slices/shreds. Works great! Best dollar ever spent!
    I also found a really good Mundial chef's knife at another thrift store and can't believe how much easier it makes chopping. I had to pay $2 for that jewel, but looked it up and it retails for @ $50.
    Having good tools makes cooking even more enjoyable. I love that you talk about the tools you use, and how to get best results with them.

    Firstly apologies to Spain! I have been on a bit of a quest to find the ultimate breakfast egg recipes from around the world. Tried making authentic Spanish potato omelette a number of times to understand what the fuss is about. Similar recipes to this but without garlic (most supposedly authentic recipes I have found did not include garlic). It’s nice but frankly a little bland for my tastes. Maybe my technique is missing something.

That and 1 liter containers of Gazpacho will be greatly missed. Only tried making Gazpacho once while here and since I prefer red to green bell peppers, used red...big fail.

      Well I've been home in LA for 8 months and have been cooking up a few Tortilla's. This is my favorite recipe. Usually I skip the onion and garlic as I'm usually very hungry when I cook them. My only problem was the ratio of eggs to potatoes. All have been good. I did take my only nonstick pan, a 24 cm Le Creuset pan to the store to find a plate that fit it perfectly. Thanks for the correct ration (in kilograms) of potatoes to egg. The waxy potatoes available are a bit smaller, so it's 6, rather than 4 potatoes. While I miss the convivence of store-bought Tortillas de Patatas, mine are so much better thanks to you. BTW I got your large fry pan and it works on most of your recipes way better than my stainless All Clad, and a way better price!

      LOL I love this guys recipes, but I often add chicken. Only thing off the top of my head that red meat would be to add ox tail to paella with the chicken/rabbit meat.

    That is not a Spanish omelette, sir, the Spanish omelette does not contain garlic... learn how to make it, there are many videos on the internet
