Tortilla de patatas (Spanish omelet)
The original recipe I looked at before totally ignoring it and going off on my own, called for 1 potato. Who are they kidding? A one-potato recipe? That wouldn’t even be worth the frying pan.

Ingredients
- Potatoes cut in cubes, 2-3
- Onion chopped, 1
- Eggs 6
- Bacon 6-7 slices, cut into small pieces
- Salt + pepper
Instructions
- Fry the bacon/lardons in a frying pan. If you are using real bacon, drain off most of the fat. If you’re frying up lardons, you may need to add a bit of butter to the pan.
- Add in the onions and potatoes and sauté until the potatoes are brown.
- Beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the pan with the potatoes and bacon.
- Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes until eggs are set (no longer jiggly in the middle).
- Serve cut into wedges like an omelet cut into wedges.
