Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spanish Tortilla (Tortilla Española).
Step 1
Begin by warming half a cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Introduce half of the potato slices to the skillet, cooking them gently while stirring occasionally until they reach a tender state, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
Once they are ready, transfer these potatoes to a large bowl, ensuring the oil remains in the skillet.
Step 4
Next, add the remaining potato slices to the skillet, allowing them to cook in the reserved oil until they too are tender, roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 5
Once cooked, move these potatoes to the bowl and season them with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
In a separate skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 7
Add the onion rings and sauté them gently until they become soft and golden brown, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 8
Once they are perfectly caramelized, remove the onions from the skillet and let them cool on a plate.
Step 9
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are smooth and creamy.
Step 10
Fold in the cooled onions, roasted red peppers, and chopped serrano ham, ensuring everything is well combined.
Step 11
Gently incorporate the cooked potatoes into the egg mixture, taking care not to break them apart.
Step 12
Return the skillet with the reserved oil to low heat and pour in the egg mixture.
Step 13
Cook gently, allowing the edges to set and the bottom to develop a golden crust, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 14
If necessary, use a spatula to loosen the tortilla from the skillet.
Step 15
To flip the tortilla, carefully slide it onto a large plate.
Step 16
Invert the skillet over the uncooked side of the tortilla, then flip it back into the skillet.
Step 17
Cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until the center is fully set.
Step 18
Once the tortilla is cooked to perfection, slide it onto a serving plate and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 19
When ready to serve, cut it into six wedges and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.

Enjoy this delightful dish that brings a taste of home to your table!.
