Spanish omelette
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. Spanish cuisine, like any other Mediterranean cuisine, is rich and filling. Therefore, even a simple omelet among Spaniards is quite a high-calorie dish. Besides eggs and potatoes, you can add some sausages (Spaniards usually add their favorite blood sausage—zarzuela). When making a Spanish-style omelet, do not skimp on herbs: tarragon, thyme, and other spices will only improve the taste. Let’s look at the recipe with photos. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

Now, in a preheated frying pan with a fairly large amount of oil, fry the onion and potatoes. The pan should be deep. Fry for 8–10 minutes, making sure the onion does not burn but turns golden.

Stir the potatoes and onions. I should warn you that you may need more than 6 tablespoons of oil. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
