Con todo el respeto del mundo a esta apacible señora... Tortilla de patata española los cojones.

[TayTks]

Gente, dice que el pimiento lo pone ella porque quiere aunque no sea tradicional. Si le vais a echar la bronca por lo menos escuchad lo que dice antes coño. A Mary Berry no me la toquéis eh, que es la abuela de todos.

"And after all these years cooking I think I might be allowed". Classic!

Well, Spanish tortilla is made with fried potatoes which then are mixed with eggs.
Spaniards are divided between those who love adding onion to the omelette, and those who hate it (you know, we're so passional, also regarding dishes).
I've never tried an omelette with red pepper or parsley. Mary Berry's "tortilla" looks quite good but it's far from a typical Spanish tortilla.

[GonyiTJ]

What? This is not a spanish tortilla. Incredible...

[stephaniejumptaylor]

After seeing MPW's version, Mary is a breath of fresh air...and a great option for those afraid to handle hot oil!
I like the red and green as well - a nice risk.

you thought you would be allowed to make that and call it spanish tortilla, prepare for the millions of complaints from the spanish.

[dd-rbcj]

Que asco eso no es una tortilla ni nada pesimo

[mp]

The Italians would call this a Frittata. Here in the USA we call it an Omlette. But the Queen of British Cookery can call it anything she chooses. Love you, Mary! 😊

I saw Mary Berry. I thought of Capaldi and Bradley in Twice Upon a Time. I clicked

[jay]

God almighty ...spanish tortilla only has eggs potatoes and MAYBE onions..🤦‍♂️

[thegirlof]

Estimada señora Mary berry para hacer tortilla se echa más aceite para freír las patatas y la cebolla. lo que hace es pocharlas no freírlas. No lleva perejil ni pimiento menos mal que no Le echo chorizo.

[QwertyUiop-bszr]

Tbh I am surprised not to see any death threats against you, dear lady, I kind of felt inclined to do one myself, please, dont call that a tortilla. Love from Spain

[XDanits]

Respeto lo de ponerle pimiento porque te apetece, señora PERO LA TORTILLA SIN CEBOLLA, COJONES

[mittenswiggum]

Ella dijo 'patatas de tortilla - CON EN GIRO' - relájate gente!

[mendistudio]

There are two main versions of Spanish tortilla: either with or without onion. In any case the onion should be cut in such big slices, just cut it to bits so it can blend with the potato. Potato, egg, salt, olive oil and optionally onion, thats more than enough to make a fantastic one.

[Mickeywonderwall]

Thats not a spanish tortilla, thats eggs with things...

[fernandoangon]

Mary Berry is just such a lovely human being ♥️😊

[greenkitty]

When I tried this, the pan and onion burnt and the potatoes didn't cook properly, even with the lid on and at a low heat, can anyone help as to what goes wrong?

[Shahska]

I'm from New Mexico and I would not call that that a tortilla but an egg pie
