I think I am going to try to make a spanish tortilla tomorrow but I only have russet potatoes .
Will that be too starchy?

Any kind.

Russets are fine. Made one with those last week.

>> No.14321602

Second that russets works fine, just make sure to soak and rinse them a few times before confiting them to remove that extra starchy. Also what pan are you using?

>> No.14322188

>>14321602
Just a non stick fry pan

Remember to add a ton of onions and olive oil

Cant tell you how many dissapointing tortillas I've had due to the complete lack of onions

I love everything edible and drinkable coming out of Spain and Portugal.

just dont ruin it by eating it with ketchup

Any potato should be fine. My mum always soaks them in cold water after cutting them though. So yeah, probably do that before frying them.

There is a huge difference between starchy potatoes and waxy ones
Huge

We don't really have waxy potatoes in Spain. Everything is intermediate.

Spanish folk wouldn't stand for that, hell even a roof wouldn't be worthy of that shit.

I always put a bit of nutmeg into mine and also hashbrowns or any pan fried potato dish, works wonders.

I'm Spanish and I have seen this done before, even my mum has done it a couple of times but this is only for either really lazy people or for when you want a tortilla quick.
But it just doesn't compare with the traditional tortilla de patatas. Some people would even be dissapointed to see that my mum used crisps.

>> No.14327158

>>14324149
Even though that might be true for the kinds you have available, then there is no way to tell how starchy a potato is by the colour of the skin.

>> No.14329503

>>14327158
No but you can tell by knowing what variety you have. I have never heard of a red skinned potato that was starchy

>> No.14329687

>>14329503
Come to Spain. They're red and they're starchy.

>> No.14329732

>>14329687
What variety are they?
Are are you hip to the difference? all potatoes are starchy but not all potatoes are called starchy.
