Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Place potatoes in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or so. Drain, pat dry, and season with salt.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute bell pepper, poblano pepper, and onion in butter until soft. Remove from pan, and set aside. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and bacon fat in pan, and fry the potatoes until crisp and medium brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
- Arrange the potatoes in a lightly-buttered, non-stick pan, preferably a deep, slope-sided skillet. Arrange the onions and peppers over the potatoes, and then spread cheese over the top. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with water, parsley, and salt and pepper; pour the mixture over the potatoes. Put the skillet in a larger pan with a half inch of water in it.
- Bake in preheated oven until eggs set, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the tortilla, let cool, and loosen edges from the pan. Put a serving plate over the skillet, and flip the tortilla over onto the plate. Cut into small pie-shape wedges. Refrigerate until ready to serve; reheat if desired.
Footnotes
- The tortilla can be cooked on the stovetop in a skillet, and flipped to cook both sides.

I find that this recipe has too many ingredients. The typical spanish tortilla only consists of potatoes, onion, garlic and eggs.

Overall I feel this spanish tortilla contained all the flare of what an authentic "patata" demands: a delicious dichotomy of chrispy outershell and soft center. Recommendations: I suggest this s...

Although this can taste good is not really a Spanish Tortilla, keep it simple and will taste better.

Fairly good recipe, but I think you should really not call it a Spanish Tortilla, as people get anal about these things! It works better with the potatoes diced and boiled first not fried (just ...

In the region of Spain I lived in, they wouldn't be caught dead using butter, they considered it a French concept. For a more authentic (and healthy) recipe, use oil Thanks for posting, Monica!
