Y Viva Espana

A Spanish cutie-pie taught me this Spanish Omelette recipe, which I am sharing with the world now. I will never reach the dexterity of Spaniards in flipping the omelette, but recommend you try it. Here' the recipe.

1. Chop and fry onions (lots of them). I added some hot green peppers too. Put aside.

2. Chop two small potatoes in round potato chips style and deep fry in the same pan until crispy and brown. Add to onion mix.

3. Crack 6 to 8 eggs on top of the potatoes and onions, add salt and pepper to taste, mix well. This is your omelette base.

4. Heat up a thin layer of oil in the frying pan and add the omelette mix. In a couple of minutes or less, it will solidify at the bottom.

5. Now comes the tough part (and the Spanish dexterity) - turning the omelette without breaking the circle. You can use a plate, turn it on the plate, then flip back on the pan. Long time ago, I bought a special pan in Spain that is made of two pans attached on the side, so you can lock them and flip with no effort, alas I miss that pan.

6. A couple of minutes on the other side and you have a nice thick Spanish Omelette. Let cool a bit, cut in pieces and enjoy as is or top it, Spanish style, with anything you crave.
