A humble delicacy that tastes like victory, the potato omelette has become one of the most well-known symbols of Spanish gastronomy over the years. It’s the seal of our identity and one of the reasons why Spanish cuisine ranks so high.
With so few ingredients—potatoes, eggs, salt, and oil—the real challenge for Dabiz Muñoz, who takes the onion out of the equation, is, find the balance that makes it the perfect potato omelet recipe. As simple as it may be, it’s not always an easy task. Until now.
Most watched chef on tv, great Karlos Arguiñano found the key So our tortilla always tastes ten, and the secret is in the math: 6+3+1. Six eggs, three potatoes and an onion.
We can make a version with sacks of potatoes, like Ferrán Adriá’s, or try a wonderful Betanzos-style omelet with little curd and no onions. Make us a tortilla cake or even a vegan potato omelet like in the video.

Peel and cut the potatoes into thin slices of the same thickness (such a mandolin is ideal for work), salt and fry in plenty of olive oil. Add the brunoise (small squares) chopped onion, mix and fry until the potatoes are soft and golden brown, Be careful not to burn the onion.
