so until the underside has turned golden... check it though as you don't wont the tortilla to be too dry and that my dear friends is that... and the thing is, you may be thinking 'is that it..? all that fuss of an omelet...' but let me tell you... this is a heavenly thing... and try really hard not to drop the fucking plate! ... the tortilla is delightful hot, warm or at room temperature... but never refrigerated... or so i'm told Sounds delish, and I couldnt care how authentic or otherwise it is (never been to Spain!). I also like that you're being good'n'patriotic during our washout Summer of union twattery by asking peeps to cut into pound-coin thicknesses. Good work old chap! My boyfriend's mum makes an amazing tortilla, I was actually thinking of asking her to do a guest post on my blog! She dices rather than slices her potatoes and uses about a gallon of oil but other than that I don't know the recipe! Whereabouts in Majorca/Mallorca were you? I'm going in a few weeks for the first time, staying in an apartment (there are 5 of us, leaving the menfolk and in one case child at home!) I think in Cala Pi. I think you have given me the idea to try this again, what could be better than potatoes and onions cooked in lots of olive oil to give the tortilla it's wonderful flavour. So after it got dropped did you eat it
