Spanish gastronomy is known for its diversity of products and the exquisiteness of its dishes. One of the world-famous dishes is potato omelette, a culinary masterpiece that reflects the richness of Spanish gastronomic tradition. This classic delicacy, also known as Spanish omelette is a delicious combination of eggs, potatoes and onion. Though adding or not the onion divides the whole country!
At first glance, cooking these three ingredients (apart from the salt and the olive oil) seems easy. But the reality is that it requires great skill to achieve a soft texture on the inside and curd on the outside. Each region, even each person, brings its unique touch. So join this culinary journey with Sazón The Folk Cook, and do not hesitate to explore these gastronomic corners that we are going to suggest to discover the authentic flavour of potato omelette. Come on, immerse yourself in the culinary passion that defines this iconic dish! Are you in?
Delicious Spanish omelette in the Granada Sacromonte
Granada is one of the great tourist destinations in Spain, both for its incredible cultural legacy and for its exquisite gastronomy and tapas culture. From Sacromonte, one of the most charismatic neighbourhoods of this beautiful Andalusian city, our host Carmina invites us to her house to savour her delicious dishes, while we enjoy privileged views of the city.
Without a doubt, it is one of those magical places where time passes without realising it and the cuisine is savoured without rushing. As a starter, at Carmina’s house you will try one of the best Spanish tortilla in the city, accompanied by her famous Alhambra‘s Remojón salad, a delicious combination of sweet and salty flavours.
Spanish tortilla with the best olive oil from Jaén
However, if you are more cosmopolitan, just 5 minutes from the main historical attractions of Granada, we find the suggestive and delicious cuisine of Cristina and Jesús. This charismatic family comes from Jaén, the land of olive oil. Thus, the quality of the product is evident in the flavour of their amazing Spanish omelette, cooked with love and the best oil that their lands produce.
Furthermore, as expert olive oil producers, they will delight you with a tasting of the best oils in Jaén. Do not miss their menu with a typical Andalusian salmorejo, and a sweet pionono, a typical dessert from Granada.
Tasty tortilla de patatas in Córdoba
Continuing in Andalusia, we cannot miss visiting the incredible city of Córdoba. The charm of its streets impregnated with the heritage of Muslims, Jews and Christians invite us to savour the traditional Cordovan cuisine, full of mixtures of ancestral cultures.
Our artist, Pepa, knows a lot about tradition, since she, like her parents, her grandparents, and her great grandparents, were born in this beautiful city. Entering her house is like getting into a museum, since her house is decorated with beautiful paintings inspired by the incredible city, and painted by herself. In an authentic Cordovan house you will enjoy a delicious menu. We will highlight the starter, made up of typical tapas from the area, where you can’t miss her fantastic Spanish omelette.
Potato omelette with the nice taste of Cádiz
In Andalusia, in addition to producing quality products for the kitchen, we can find some of the best wines in Spain. One example is Jerez de la Frontera, where Inma, one of our hosts in Andalusia, lives. Her experience in the kitchen leaves no one indifferent, since Inma has worked for a long time as a professional cook.
That is why anything she prepares turns into a wonderful delicacy. Having a glass of wine in the incredible terrace of her house, while you try her unbeatable Spanish omelette is a pleasure like few others in this world.
Barcelona style Spanish omelette
Leaving Andalusia behind, we move to one of the most visited cities in all of Spain. Our expert chefs Alfredo and Mariángeles have created in Barcelona a new concept of gastronomic space within their home, where they give free rein to their passion for good food by organising cooking workshops, work meetings, team building, events, showrooms and celebrations.
Their experience in the kitchen has led them to create something special. And at their home, they prepare a tasting menu of 10 tapas from the best corners of Spain, which of course, includes their unique recipe for Spanish omelette.

In short, the Spanish omelette is much more than a dish. Each bite is a sensory journey, and these emblematic places are gateways to a culinary experience that will last in the palates and hearts of those who venture to savour it.
