  Tortilla española

  Slow-confit potatoes and onion folded into eggs and slid in and out of a small pan. The interior should be barely set — jugosa. Five ingredients, total technique.

  Patatas Bravas

  Spain's favourite tapa: crisp golden potato cubes topped with a smoky, spicy brava sauce (and often a cool garlic aioli). Crunchy outside, fluffy within, with a paprika-warm kick — they're on every bar table in Madrid. Simple, vegetarian and made for sharing with a cold drink.

  Croquetas

  The most beloved of Spanish tapas and the ultimate use for leftovers: a thick, creamy béchamel studded with finely chopped jamón (or chicken, salt cod, mushrooms), chilled until firm, then shaped, crumbed and fried into crisp golden nuggets with a molten, savoury centre. Croquetas are a fixture of every bar and every abuela's kitchen, fiercely debated and lovingly perfected. The contrast is everything — shatteringly crisp shell, silky-soft inside that almost flows. They take patience and a cold rest, but a good croqueta is one of the small perfect pleasures of Spanish food.
