A light and classic Spanish tortilla made with eggs, potatoes, and onions, served alongside a fresh mixed green salad dressed with a simple vinaigrette. This balanced dinner combines comforting flavors with a crisp, healthy side.

Steps

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced potatoes and onions, season with a pinch of salt, and cook gently until potatoes are tender but not browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the eggs over the cooked potatoes and onions in the skillet, spread evenly, and cook on low heat until the eggs are mostly set, about 5 minutes.
  5. Carefully flip the tortilla using a plate, and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until fully set and lightly golden.
  6. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  8. Toss the mixed greens with the dressing just before serving.
  9. Serve the tortilla warm or at room temperature with the dressed mixed green salad on the side.

Tips for Spanish-Style Tortilla with Mixed Green Salad

  • A well-set tortilla should feel cohesive when gently pressed, with tender potato slices and no wet egg in the center.
  • A skillet with a snug-fitting plate makes flipping steadier; choose a plate wider than the pan.
  • Dress the greens at the last moment so they stay crisp, and allow a few minutes for the tortilla to settle before slicing.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry Spanish rosé
Its fresh acidity complements the tender potato and egg while matching the bright vinaigrette and greens.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftover tortilla and salad separately within 2 hours; keep for 3–4 days. The greens are best eaten fresh, and the tortilla is best served warm or at room temperature.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the tortilla is fully set?

The center should look set rather than glossy or runny, and the tortilla should hold together when lifted or sliced.

Can I make the tortilla ahead?

Yes. Make it earlier in the day and refrigerate it promptly; serve it chilled or let it sit briefly until it reaches room temperature.

Why did my tortilla break when I flipped it?

It may have been too loose to hold together. Wait until the eggs are mostly set and use a plate wider than the skillet to support the whole tortilla.
