So good it’ll rock your world.

You better be ready, because this recipe will forever change the way you see potatoes and eggs. On their own, they stand their ground, but when combined, they create an amazing, unforgettable, and delicious new dimension of flavor.

You need to know one thing before we move on, that this is a staple dish in the Spanish Culture, and mastering the art of cooking Tortilla de Patata will give you lots of street cred with your Spanish friends.

Be sure to enjoy it with a piece of baguette bread for the full experience.

Bring it all together: The recipes, the book, and the music.

INGREDIENTS:

🍠 Tortilla 🥔
1.5 russet potato per 1 sweet potato
Beaten eggs, enough to cover cut up potatoes
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil (preferably Spanish)
If you like onions, add chopped up onion (about 1/2 a cup into the potatoes and egg mix)

👩‍🍳 Follow these easy steps 👨‍🍳

  1. Peel and cut potatoes into circles or cubes
  2. Fry potatoes in olive oil over medium heat
    Drain excess oil
  3. Mix potatoes in with thoroughly beaten eggs (beat eggs for about 5 minutes until foam forms)
  4. Add mixture into a frying pan lightly covered in olive oil over medium heat. Allow that side of the tortilla to cook nicely.
  5. Use a lid or large plate to cover the pan. Protect your arm and hand from the heat with a cooking mitten.
    Flip the pan holding down the plate or lid tightly, with determination and conviction, and add the tortilla immediately back into the pan.
  6. Allow this side to cook for another 4 minutes. Depending on how juicy you like the middle, you allow more or less time for this last step.
