1 cup olive oil
Tortilla de Patatas
Fried Potatoes
four large potatoes
(peel and cut in circles)
salt to taste
one large onion, thinly sliced
four large eggs
red and/or green pepper,
thinly sliced (optional)
I add thin slices of red pepper
and/or green pepper
together with the onion,
but this is optional.
Heat the oil in a
9-inch skillet,
add potatoes,
one slice at a time
so that they don't stick.
Alternate layers of potato
and onion.
COOK slowly, medium flame.
DO NOT FRY!!
Turn occasionally until
potatoes are tender,
but NOT brown.
Beat eggs in a
large bowl with a fork.
Salt to taste.
Drain potatoes.
Add potatoes
to beaten eggs, pressing them
so that eggs cover
them completely.
Let sit for 15 minutes.
Heat 2 tbsps of the
oil in large skillet.
Add potatoes-egg mixture,
spreading quickly.
Lower the heat
to medium-high.
Shake pan to
prevent sticking
(crucial step!!)
When potatoes start to brown,
put a plate on
skillet and turn around,
adding another tbsp of oil.
Brown on the other side.
Flip three or four times
for better cooking.
