About this listen

Tortilla española is just eggs, potatoes, and oil. That's it. And yet somehow it's Spain's most important dish… on every menu, in every bar, and the source of passionate debates over whether it needs onion or not. In this episode, I break down what tortilla española really is, why it's everywhere, the great onion debate (it's real), and how to eat it the way Spaniards actually do. This is Spanish food at its simplest and most essential.
