Tortilla de Patatas Ingredients

Method

Tortilla de Patatas Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and slice the potatoes thinly. Chop the onion into thin slices.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes and Onion

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onion, season with salt, and cook until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix with Eggs

    In a large bowl, beat the eggs and then add the cooked potatoes and onions. Mix gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook the Tortilla

    Wipe the skillet clean and add a bit more olive oil. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook on medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is set.

  5. 5

    Flip the Tortilla

    Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate. Slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat the tomato sauce and stir in paprika. Simmer for a few minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Cut the tortilla into wedges and serve warm, topped with the tomato paprika sauce.
