Casa Dani - Review - Salamanca - Madrid - The Infatuation
"One of the most famous stalls in the city’s Mercado de la Paz, this always-busy spot serves up generous portions of croquetas, oxtails—and a tortilla de patata that people cross the city for. What makes their version next level is that they fry the potatoes in sunflower oil, which helps them retain their original, sour flavor that’s complemented by the sweetness of the onion. Casa Dani’s tortilla can be anything you want it to be—breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack, or an epic hangover cure after a late night of drinking too much garrafón (poor-quality liquor) at a discoteca. Any tortilla this good needs worthy sidekicks, so opt for salmorejo, a creamier version of gazpacho topped with egg and ham, or fish fresh from the market’s vendors. There’s also a menu del día for €15 (they post a photo of the chalkboard options on weekdays to Facebook, so rack your brain for your 2009 login) that gets you an appetizer, main, dessert, and coffee. photo credit: Casa Dani" - Lori Zaino
