I Tested Three Ways of Making Spanish Tortilla
Video Overview & Insights
I made Spanish tortilla three different ways to answer one delicious question: which method makes the best tortilla de patatas?
¿Y en qué momento sacas las tortillas🫓? Me perdí esa parte.
In this video, we compare three distinct styles—from the traditional spanish tortilla to one with slowly caramelized onion and, finally, the controversial runny style. Same amount of potatoes, same Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, but three very different results. Which one would you choose?
A quick note before the recipes: for each tortilla, I started with 1 kg (2.2 lb) of whole potatoes, which became approximately 800 g (1.75 lb) after peeling.
I found a recipe here on Youtube from a Michelin star restaurant in England using potato chips. I tried it and it was quite good. This comment are for you lazy people out there. A bag of salted chips, fry some onions a pinch of black pepper, egg and voilà - a tasty tortilla! Be careful with the salt since salted potato chips in a bag are really salty. Buona fortuna, amici spagnoli!
• Tortilla 1: 1 kg potatoes + 200 g raw onion
• Tortilla 2: 1 kg potatoes + 100 g caramelized onion
Más videos largos mano te guillaste. Quizás al principio no saques tantos views como los cortos pero a la larga estoy seguro que te va a ir muy bien
• Tortilla 3: 1 kg potatoes, no onion
For the caramelized onion, I slowly cooked 400 g of raw onion with a little Arbequina extra virgin olive oil until it reduced to approximately 200 g. I then used 100 g of it in the second tortilla.

All three tortillas were prepared using Arbequina extra virgin olive oil.

Thanks - meant to send this with my previous comment. Best wishes
@dereksmooneyEl mejor vídeo que he visto sobre cómo hacer tortilla de papatata que hay en internet y créeme que los habré visto casi todos jaja
@nosoydiego00Made your albondigas recipe with salsa española for my family this week, everyone loved it.
Nice to see you are posting more recipes again👍
Sea para comer con pajilla o con la textura de un polvorón, con o sin cebolla, la tortilla es amor y el símbolo hispano de la felicidad, great video as always dude
@PankoBreadingHaving lived in Spain now for 23 years eating and experiencing Tortilla from different parts of Spain is really great. In fact one of the things I miss about my last Spanish girlfriend is her Tortilla 🙄🤣🤣
@eclipseyourself1Todas lucen espectacular ;) For me between also the third but a touch of onion still. Remove / cook as much water out of the potatoes as possible, salt potatoes again before frying, add a bit of onion when the potatoes are at least half cooked so the onion doesn't get too sweet, leave potatoes and egg a good time before cooking again, and cook to the consistency you want. Personally I dislike carmelized onion in tortilla. It's like Gordon Ramsay cooking Pad Thai to me or something jaaaaaaaaa.
@pbandjoshEver since I had the third kind in San Sebastián any other type is just a bit disappointing. Runny tortillas all the way!
@james7990cNo ham?
@TheWibboRunny is negotiable.
Onion is not.
Tengo que puntualizar un pequeño error que has cometido por puro sesgo de Experto, En un video orientado a Giris con cero experiencia en hacer tortillas freír la cebolla y la patata juntos es un error, por que intentarán hacer lo mismo si se animan a cocinarla, Y cuando no tienes experiencia cocinando este plato es fácil que les quede mal, para novatos es mejor decirles que tienen que freír los ingredientes por separado para controlar mejor el punto de cocción de cada ingrediente, lo de freírlo todo junto solo lo debería hacer alguien con mucha experiencia en la cocina.
@fanhugar0001Totalmente de acuerdo, para mi la tercera sin dudarlo no onions please🙏🏻
@koldoascunce2706id eat any of the 3 but the only one i would cook is the first one
@nirish25I have pretty much made all three versions. Not to over egg or intrude on your tortilla-making process, my observations: firstly, you really did a top job here (not high praise really coming from an Englishman...ahem) but it's clear you understand the premise of making tortilla de patatas. I think that the second and third version make the best tortilla if it's going to be eaten up soon. The first version allows for refigeration and heating up for serving later on. Of course another big consideration is the quality of the potatoes, eggs and olive oil; if they are good, the tortilla is good 🙂
Thanks and more videos please...gracias, Tony
Yo gusto this guy's work....
@DonQuixote-g7jI’m excited to have you posting again on YouTube!!! This was a great post. Thank you. Looking forward to most of your posts.
@edwardkornuszko4083Difícil elegir una 👌🏻, siempre las hacía como la primera hasta que vi tu otro vídeo y ahora las hago siempre como en la segunda opción y aunque la tercera se ve también deliciosa yo soy de las que siempre con cebolla 😆
@montsepueyoI like tortilla with chorizo
@ninaunpackedSir, it’s possible some people do it also with chips? The crispy snack ones. I’m confused sir
