Madrid in £40s-£60s/€60s rtn

It's tortilla de patata time, JFC-ers!

Beloved by all, from sleepy abuelas to late-night dancers, it’s Spain’s fluffiest national treasure.

Though, don't expect your usual omelette! Tortilla de patata (especially in Madrid!) comes with a dreamy, creamy centre. The secret? The potatoes and onions are gently soaked in olive oil until melt-in-your-mouth tender, then mixed with whisked eggs and cooked just enough to hold its shape.

You may call it undercooked… Madrileños call it perfecta!
