TOTAL TIME
1
Pour 2 teaspoons of oil into a medium nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat
2
Sauté the sliced onions until they turn translucent, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes
3
Add the precooked diced red potatoes, finely chopped fresh thyme, and smoked paprika to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes
4
Break the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them thoroughly
5
Combine the potato mixture, shredded Manchego cheese, roughly chopped baby spinach, salt, and freshly ground black pepper into the bowl with the whisked eggs and mix until everything is evenly distributed
6
Clean your skillet and coat it with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil before heating it over medium heat
7
Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet, cover it, and let it cook until it's browned at the bottom and the edges are set. This should take about 4 to 5 minutes
8
To cook the other side, move the pan off the heat and place a large plate over the skillet. While holding the plate tightly over the skillet, invert it so that the tortilla flips onto the plate
9
Slide the flipped tortilla from the plate back into the skillet and cook until it's thoroughly done in the middle, which should take about 3 to 6 minutes
10
Serve your Spanish Tortilla warm, or let it cool and enjoy it cold as a refreshing meal
