Tortilla: With or Without Onion? Let’s Dive into the Spanish Culture!

Who said we could only learn Spanish in class? At Linguaschools Valencia, we think that to learn a language, we need to get to know its culture as well.

That is why, this time, we decided to dive into the Spanish culture through its gastronomy and thought it was a fun idea to learn how to cook the famous “tortilla de patatas“.  A representative dish of the culture that everyone loves!

So, last week, one of our school’s most fun and delicious activities was cooking the famous Spanish potato “tortilla”.

During the activity, we learned how to chop potatoes, the importance of using good-quality oil to fry them, how to beat the eggs in the right way, and the correct amount of salt to add to the preparation.

We also debated the topic that divides “tortilla” lovers and that Spanish culture fundamentalists refuse to compromise on: onions. Do we add onions or we don’t?

And you, how do you like potato “tortilla” best? With or without onion?

Ours was delicious. What do you think? Did we add the onion? 😃
