Step 1:
The main ingredient in Spanish potato tortilla is undoubtedly potatoes! Potatoes need to be washed, cleaned, cut into quarters and into thin pieces.
Step 2:
Next bow. Peel the onion and finely chop it.
Step 3:
Now you need to break all the eggs in a bowl. Grate the cheese, finely chop the parsley (parsley is best suited for this dish, but you can use any). And chop the garlic with a garlic chopper. We combine all these ingredients, salt and mix well.
Step 4:
Put the pan on high heat. We warm it up well. Then pour Olive oil into it and warm it up well too.
Step 5:
Put the potatoes in the preheated oil and fry it on high heat for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6:
Now add the onion to the potatoes. And fry for another ten minutes, stirring occasionally, also over high heat. We do not close the lid so that the potatoes are well fried.
Step 7:
Then, salt the potatoes with onions to taste, add the black pepper, mix, distribute evenly over the pan and apply a little with a spatula.
Step 8:
And pour a mixture of eggs, cheese and herbs on top. We also align a little with a spatula, distribute it all over the potatoes. Close the lid, reduce the heat to medium, even a little less. And fry until the eggs are ready for about five minutes. The finished tortilla is usually laid out entirely on a plate, served cut like a pie, or into smaller pieces.

Along with paella and gazpacho is one of the most recognizable dishes of Spanish cuisine. Often served for breakfast. In Spanish bars, a tortilla served in a sandwich is offered as a snack.
Has been known since the beginning of the XVII century and was supposedly first prepared by the Carthusian monks. According to another version, the first potato tortilla was prepared in the XIX century by a Navarrese peasant woman, who was faced with the task of feeding the Carlist general Sumalacarregui who stood up to her in the absence of other products except potatoes, eggs and onions.
