Tortilla de Patatas | Spanish Potato Omelet | Food Wishes

[@BearODice]

I love the mutual respect between Helen Rennie and you, two of my favorites. So very refreshing to see. 😊

[@malthuswasright]

Oh - Rennie... I was wondering what singer Helen Reddy was doing getting a mention in a cooking video!

[@SilverPennyArtisans]

I love this healthier version!!!!!!

[@junglechick13]

​@malthuswasright glad to know I'm not the only one who heard Helen Reddy and I was trying to figure out which song fit the recipe. 😂

[@willythepainter]

As a Spanish chef, i respect the fact that you like the tortilla well done, still, i would try to cook the tortilla the same time on both sides instead of that much time on one side and a little on the other, i belive you will get a prettier golden colour with it still being well done. On the other side, i would say that the potato to egg ratio is a little heavy on the potato side when comparing it to the traditional recipe. Anyway it looked great, and, as a 9+ year follower that has become a chef in those years, it made me really Happy to see you cook a tortilla. Enjoy!

[@georgezee5173]

I honestly can't believe he was happy with that omelette, especially to use as an example one. Slightly burnt and too cooked inside, which makes it dry. Still love this channel, though

[@ggourmetmeals]

si , demasiado hecha , y demasiadas patatas, peor bueno , al menos le a metido cebolla :D . personalmente prefiere pochar la cebolla aparte.

​@@georgezee5173 Higher heat can produce a crust without drying out the center. Someone who doesn't know that should not be criticizing professionals.

[@georgezee5173]

@@Leto_0 I can see the inside of that tortilla myself, thanks. I've seen HUNDREDS of tortillas de patatas throughout my entire life, and that one looks too cooked inside, which is dry for a tortilla de patatas standard. It's still edible, I'm not saying otherwise, but it's not properly cooked by any means. It's mediocre at best.

[@simonreano1567]

I see some people saying that they would add bacon to this recipe and that sounds great. Now, there's a variant of this tortilla in which you start by slicing and cooking some chorizo using just a bit of oil. When the chorizo is cooked, you take it out of the pan and then cook the onions and potatoes in the chorizo-infused oil. Then you add the sliced chorizo back again when you add the eggs and the rest of the recipe is the same. Tortilla de patatas is great, but when you add chorizo to the mixture, it goes to a whole different level! Thank you for the vid, chef John

[@javiTests]

Yes, I've tried with chorizo, and I like it quite a lot with green pepper as well. You can do it, but then it's not a Spanish omelette, it's egg with things 😄

[@johnkelley7543]

I would likely pair it with jamon serrano over bacon and not cook it in. A few slices that you can either either put on top, or eat alongside. Get that salty, piggy flavor from something more traditionally Spanish! :)

[@plsencas7641]

You can also add cheese, anchovies, tomato paste, and culiflower. Please...

[@Drzahman]

Chistorra, chef omar does the most accurate rendition of the original rendition

[@-Nad13]

Spainiard here; this is a really good recipe! It's exactly how I do it in my home as well. Frying the potatoes and onions is actually how the tortilla tastes best, but it is way too messy for an everyday recipe. There may be some of us who'll say "onion doesn't belong in spanish omelet" but just ignore them. I'll actually tell you to add whatever you have in the fridge. Peppers are awesome in spanish omelet, and if you go to any tapas restaurant lots of them have spinach spanish omelet on the menu, so don't be afraid to try everything! And hey, if using 2 plates helps you to lose the fear to flipping the tortilla, go ahead and do it as well! This recipe is first and foremost home cooking, so make it yours! And no one does it well the first try, don't feel discouraged if you end up doing scrambled eggs. Anyway, thank you so much for showing how great and easy spanish omelet can be! ~¡Qué aproveche! 😜😜

Another Spaniard here!! and Also a Chef, I have to admit that as much as I trust you Chef John, I kind of expected some dissapointment ... but there wasn´t any, since i think its your first Tortilla ( my first tortilla, and almost everyones was F***ng mess...) I´m also form the "always with Onion" Team too, I mean, The True and Only, and also agree that you should experiment and mess around with this recipe as much as you want, I love it with minced meat, (you prep the meat as for a Bolognese sauce, just without tomato sauce and if you can put your hands in it, a good amount of Parpika form La Vera... just add this preparation at the same time you add the potatos and onions to your eggs, and finish it like you did your Tortilla Freaking delicious!!!

@@iermanicus No, yo no paso tanto la tortilla, pero ni yo soy crítico gastronómico ni tú un chef de estrellas Michelín. Si supieras un mínimo de lo que hablas sabrías que el chef Jhon no sólo hace la receta y cocina, también está moviendo la cámara y haciendo tomas así que si se le quema la tortilla tampoco pasa nada. La única falta de respeto aquí es tu comentario de mierda, amigo.

[@coladordevictoria]

Another spaniard here: Love Your recipe!!!! You treated our signature dish with so much respect and love, even though its a bit burnt hahaha. Anyway, as a +8 years follower, I loved to see a spanish dish in your channel, and i repeat, treated with love and respect. I hope You enjoyed it, and tip: cook onion first, so the oil gets its flavor, and then cook potatoes whenever onion is about to get brown (the onion will be kind of a cream). 2 eggs for every medium size potato, and use the own pan to turn the tortilla with a dish on top, turn the pan into the dish, and then tortilla goes again into the pan in the uncooked side.

[@Shea3224]

The most delicious thing he's made this year? That one statement alone from Chef John himself proves this recipe is an absolute must try!! 😍

[@etherdog]

Great that you cited Helen Rennie! She's fabulous at explainikng why things work as they do, and she uses metric measurements!

[@lindainparis7349]

Oh yes. I’ve given up pleading with CJ’s overlords for metric !!!

[@cdub42]

Metric and imperial translate nicely, but volume and mass don't (always)! I do kinda wish cj would give masses when appropriate (which isn't always), but I also appreciate his dedication to his original goal of helping newer home cooks find joy in cooking at home. This includes not getting bogged down in too many details, and maybe more importantly, too much gear. There are so many of us who learned from CJ and then "progressed" to more nitty gritty aspects of cooking, and so many KZbin cooks who "progressed" to adjust their presentation to match popular demand and/or maximize views (I'm thinking of a certain someone who radically deviated from what made them popular and started adding too many camera switches to their videos in the past couple months...), that I am honestly impressed and immensely proud of Chef John for staying true to his vision. There's a reason he's the goat. It's always been about the food and helping people make it, nothing more and nothing less.

[@Bergensape]

I started cooking this when I moved out of my parents house, it's soooo good, but then I started experimenting and let me tell you, the best idea I got was to mix potatoes and sweet potatoes, and adding chorizo to the mix, truly amazing combination. Also, I added cheese at some point, also amazing

[@renrutmat]

Now I've got to try the sweet potato combo. Totally agree with the chorizo and cheese, a mix advised to me by a Spanish professional chef.

[@Mochi-sn3ud]

I've added bacon to this and green or red pepper. Just delicious however you choose to make this::)

[@benjaminharris7091]

[@Gtstreet84]

Chef John, you are a treasure to all mankind. Plus this was delicious.

[@donallmc]

That is a lot of browning 😂. It would be rare to see a tortilla that well-done in Spain. But the thing about tortilla is that it's one of those recipes where everyone makes it slightly differently. Looks delicious and I'd love to see more Spanish cuisine videos!

[@georgezee5173]

He burnt it. And it must be dry inside. What a pity.

[@cdub42]

I'm seeing a lot of people say this. But I think what you are seeing more of is the deep browning of the potatoes and onions showing through. Yes, the eggs are a bit browned, but they are not burned, and the bites at the end show it's not dry. If you guys don't like it, you should probably amass 4.5 million people to your KZbin channel and tell them all about it.

[@georgezee5173]

@@cdub42 My man, if it's so properly done, how come after eating HUNDREDS of tortillas de patata in my life I've never had a properly cooked one that looked this dark brown? You can bring up the "argument of authority" to cover Chef John as much as you want to defend this badly cooked dish, but the I'll bring my own "argument of authority" since I'm the one, not John, who's eaten this dish all his life. And I like Chef John, especially his personallity, but here took the lazy way and instead of discarding this first failed attempt and trying a second time, he just felt okay with that mediocrity. What's the point of recording a video tutorial if you pick up a badly done attempt as the example for everyone to follow??

[@margariteolmos3457]

Agree. Dry and overcooked.

[@lemon9bug]

Well, some people in Spain do like it completely dry. I'm on the opposite end and love it very runny; google "tortilla de betanzos" to see a popular style of tortilla that is almost liquid inside (very delicious, especially accompanied with a good bread to mop it all up!)

[@spase667]

You make the tortilla exactly how my Spanish mother makes it, except that she flips it properly with the pan! I’ve had lots of tortillas, and this style is by far the most flavorful imo.

[@kamiros9739]

Thank you! I don’t like the waste of oil in the recipe I followed in the past, this makes it so much easier

[@EduardoLobatoDJ]

Kudos Chef John for cooking what is my favorite food! Nicely done! Is true that in Spain we prefer the center to be moist, and the outside with less browning, maintaining a yellow color with bits of brown, but to each his own, and I'm very happy that you shared with the world this amazing and simple Spanish dish.

[@guillermoperonaguerrero9080]

Spaniard here. I honestly find interesting this take, specially when you avoid deep-frying the potatoes and onion which is indeed messy, although that oil is perfectly usable for other things. At the same time, that flipping method is great. However, my thoughts as a Spanish ambassador would be that, aside from your own preference about the runny egg inside the omelette and the heavy browning of the potatoes (which I totally support), I think that you've given too much color on the egg which translates to a bitter flavor that isn't usually desirable around here. But the recipe is wonderful, just like the rest of your videos, that I've been watching for a long time. Happy cooking! (and by the way, we never EVER put allioli or any type of mayo on top of our omelettes...).

[@notahotshot]

"we never EVER..." Wow! Hey everyone, we've found that one Spaniard who speaks for all Spaniards

@@AnitaNiniel Jail

[@1lmp1]

Yes, I like very dark potatoes, I do not transfer the potatoes in the eggs. I cook the potatoes dark, flip them by this plate method, let the other side darken some more. Then I pour the eggs on the potatoes and cook it on a lower heat until they firm. I do not care for very well cooked eggs, they lose the delicious egg yolk taste.

[@Elbombisima]

Me never at home. But many restaurants do put mayo next to the tortilla.

[@willnicol1684]

Never seen one browned that much and will definitely try that. But I’m sticking with a softer centre. For which adding a couple of extra yolks really helps it be rich and silky.

[@JeffStone0]

Chopped pimento olives along with the aioli or just sour cream also make excellent toppings. Lovely Spanish Tortilla, Chef John!

[@georgezee5173]

In Spain we don't have sour cream in our cuisine. You may also suggest to add wasabi...

[@JeffStone0]

@@georgezee5173 Huh. Had it in Toledo. YMMV. Peace.

[@georgezee5173]

@@JeffStone0 And you might also find a weird restaurant in Spain where they add Mexican tabasco sauce to their paella if you look hard enough for it (why not?)... That doesn't mean it's normal at all. Again, we don't have sour cream in Spanish cuisine. I had never seen nor heard of sour cream until I moved to the UK. If you type "crema agria" and "España" in Google most articles will be titled "what is sour cream??" (only in Spanish) since the average Spaniard doesn't even know what that is. Besides, we don't put "toppings" to tortilla de patatas.

[@Membrillo81]

There are almost as many tortillas as Spanish homes. So, really nothing to argue about here. But, in my home, that is a burnt and dry tortilla. Tip: instead of black pepper and cayenne, try nutmeg. It's like a tortilla with croqueta flavour.

[@georgezee5173]

Why am I reading so many comments written by fellow Spaniards sugarcoating the simple fact that Chef John screwed up on this one? It's burnt and dry. There's no room for debate on that.

[@michapurzynski8509]

it's a great method to avoid using the insane amount of oil the traditional receipe requires. Sure you can use the oil (strained, please) for other things like ehm another tortilla but if you don't cook them all he time, that oil just goes to waste. So a huge prop to the Chef John here. As always. BTW we don't put any condiments on top of it in Madrid. We just put it between two pieces of bread to make a sandwich. if the tortilla is most enough it doesn't need anything

[@8PointsofRfactor]

Home cook top tip use an oven safe fry pan and cook the top on under the grill/boriler (no fliping required). To have your eggs breakdown well when beating - add a pinch of salt - it denatures the whites and makes them easier to beat smooth

[@georgezee5173]

I don't get why so many people are so scared of flipping the pan haha It's just a question of A) using a flat plate that is much larger than the pan and B) before doing the flipping, check that first side of the tortilla is properly cooked so it's already consistent and won't crumble.

[@SomePotato]

I make mine almost exactly the same, but usually a bit smaller. The secret to perfect tortillas is a perfect non-stick pan. If you get any stickage, you'll just end up with (still tasty) fried potatoes with scrambled eggs. I like to add a bit of nutmeg to the egg mix as well, no idea how traditional that is.

an important detail that has been forgot or overlooked in this recipe , when you finish cooking the potatoes and onions you let them cool down a bit before adding to the eggs to avoid them starting to "cook" while mixing .

I’ve never made a torta española. When I lived in Paris I’d buy a ready made one at MonoPrix. They had a little España imports section. It was delicious.

I don’t remember the maker but if I could find it in Chicago I’d be so happy. That said I will attempt to make this recipe.
