Tortilla de Patatas

The story

Spain's soul dish — and the subject of the country's greatest ongoing culinary dispute: with or without onions? The first written mention dates from 1817 in Navarre; one legend even credits a general with inventing it, needing fast, nourishing rations in wartime. What is certain: a good tortilla stays slightly creamy inside — 'jugosa'. Ours comes classic, with egg and pepper.
