Tortillas de patatas, filled with thinly sliced potatoes, are one of the most popular kinds of tortilla that you will find but you can also add the veggies and meats of your choice.
Ingredients
  • 1 potato, thinly sliced
  • ¼ onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced potatoes and pan-fry them until they are tender and light golden brown.
  3. Add the onion and garlic and sauté them until they are also tender.
  4. Remove the veggie mix from the heat.
  5. Beat the eggs in a bowl and season them with salt.
  6. Stir the warm potato mixture into the beaten eggs.
  7. Lightly coat a small pan with olive oil and heat it over medium heat.
  8. Pour the potato-egg mixture into the pan.
  9. Once the bottom is browned, flip the tortilla to cook the other side.
  10. Because the top will still be slightly runny, slide the half-cooked tortilla onto a plate.
  11. Cover the tortilla with another plate and quickly flip the plates to turn the tortilla over. Then, gently slide the tortilla back into the pan to continue cooking it on the other side. Cook it on low heat to allow the center of the tortilla to cook.
  12. Once it is done, increase the heat to medium to brown the tortilla.
  13. Slide the tortilla de patatas onto a plate and serve it warm.
  14. You can also slice it and serve it in a baguette for a quick and tasty sandwich.
