Steps:
- Peel potatoes, onion and zucchini and cut into bite sized pieces.
- Chop the onion and cut the zucchini into bite sized pieces.
- In a good frying pan, heat the olive oil at medium heat.
- Saute the onion, add the potatoes and cook them until they are soft.
- When they are done. remove them from the heat and put them in a mixing bowl.
- Mix chickpea flour (gram flour) with the soy milk, vinegar and salt.
- Chop 1 tomato, and mix with the flour and 1/2 cup of water in a blender.
- Pour the flour/tomato mixture over the potatoes and mix well.
- Heat the frying pan once more with olive oil when hot, pour the potato mixture onto the frying man and flatten in to a smooth and even surface.
- Cook the omelet for about 5 minutes with a lid on the frying pan. If your frying pan does not have a lit, you can use a large plate.
- Placing the lid on the pan will mean that you do not have to "flip" the omelet in order to cook it on both side, the heat from the steam on top will cook the "batter" enough that the omelet is done.
- If you would prefer not to put a lid on it, you can flip the omelet carefully and then cook on the 2nd side for a few minutes.

TORTILLA DE PATATA (SPANISH POTATO OMELET)
There are so many versions of this emblematic tapa that can be found all over Spain. I know, because I eat my own weight in them, wherever I go! Every region and household have their own special way of preparing this dish and it can get quite controversial as to which is the true, authentic Tortilla de Patata in Spain. This is my favorite make-at-home version adapted from many different recipes over the years. Some recipes don't call for onions but I love the sweetness and depth of flavor that caramelized onions give to the dish. It's a stunning but simple combination of flavors and textures. If you have any left over, this tortilla is also fantastic sliced into thin slices and stuffed into a fresh baguette with aioli, a homemade garlic mayonnaise , and some mild, small green peppers, either fried in olive oil, or roasted and peeled and sprinkled with some fine flaked sea salt.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil to medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potato slices, season with salt and cook over low and slow heat until the potatoes are softened and lightly golden brown around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes, gently shaking the pan from time to time to prevent the potato slices from sticking. When the potatoes are ready, reserve 2 tablespoons of the olive oil from the skillet (now infused with the flavor of those onions and potatoes) and drain the potatoes in a colander or on a paper towel.
- Beat the eggs with a generous pinch of salt in a large bowl for about 1 minute. Add the drained caramelized potatoes and onions and stir with a fork to lightly break up the potatoes (this will give the finished Tortilla de Patata a wonderful light fluffy texture). Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of the reserved olive oil in the same skillet until very hot. Pour in the egg and potato mixture and cook on one side, gently shaking the pan occasionally, until the underside is set and very lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using a plate to cover the pan, carefully invert the omelet onto the plate and then gently slide the omelet back into the pan to cook on the other side until just set and light golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Do not overcook. This Tortilla de Patata is best when barely runny in the very center. Serve immediately with some slices of fresh baguette, or make ahead to serve later in the day at room temperature. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, organic vegetables and firm, non-mushy potatoes will yield the best results.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space for the potatoes to cook evenly without steaming.
- Be patient: Cooking the potatoes slowly over medium heat will help them develop a nice golden crust.
- Flip the tortilla carefully: Use a large spatula and slide it under the tortilla before flipping. This will help prevent it from breaking.
- Serve immediately: Tortilla de patatas is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Tortilla de patatas is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it's also a good source of protein and vegetables. This vegan version of the classic Spanish omelette is just as flavorful and satisfying as the traditional recipe, and it's easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this vegan tortilla de patatas a try.
