The express potato tortilla recipe, for lazy evenings

Typically Spanish, tortilla de patatas is a popular dish made with onions and potatoes that is usually eaten cold, cut into tapas-style pieces.

Perfect for an aperitif, the Spanish tortilla can save you a lot of time even in the evening since, in addition to being ready in no time, it only requires ingredients from the bottom of the fridge and from the sideboard.

Another great advantage: since it contains only potatoes, your children certainly won’t hesitate to eat it (but you can still hide a few tomatoes or peppers in it, with ease).
