Will definitely try and and repost it, tagging you :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14039817523713216938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737225357005616059.post-72560976405383449682014-03-23T20:43:49.558+08:002014-03-23T20:43:49.558+08:00Hello Indra,

I don't know what the original recipe was, and I have no idea to what it will evolve, but this recipe is 100% authentic in the sense that this is the way my mom and my grandmom, and 90% of the people I know and bars I have been to (and I have been to a lot) prepare it. <br /><br />Of course each cook has his or her own little tricks and preferences. For example, the Spanish population is divided in those who cannot stand onion in their tortillas and those who cannot understand tortilla without onions (and you wouldn't believe how lengthy such discussions can be!). Then there are also many innovations. I personally find that caramelised onion in the tortilla gives it a delicious touch, but on the other hand would never-ever put cheese in it, I find cheese great in other tortillas but somehow it does not fit my concept of tortilla de patatas. <br /><br />Another big difference I usually find when reading recipes not written by Spaniards is that we deep fry the vegetables for the tortilla. Sure that turns the dish into a caloric bomb, but deep frying in olive oil is what gives the tortilla its unique taste. So I'd rather not eat tortilla that often but eat the good stuff.<br /><br />Anyway, sorry for the super-long comment. It is so typical Spanish (and Italian!) to just spend hours talking about food ;) Here is the recipe I wrote some time ago for my non-Spaniard friends. http://iflifegivesyoutangerines.blogspot.de/2012/02/tortilla-de-patatas-for-non-spaniards.html<br /><br />Cheers!Eli C.

It's kind of difficult to figure out which one was the original. Anyway, yours seems to be delish with parmesan cheese, but in my experience, goat cheese is the most delicious!
