Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Peppers

    Once the potatoes are cooked, add the minced garlic and piquillo peppers to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Beat the Eggs

    In a large bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the grated manchego cheese.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixture

    Add the cooked potato mixture to the bowl with the egg and cheese, and stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Cook the Tortilla

    In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Pour the egg and potato mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is set and golden.

  6. 6

    Flip the Tortilla

    Carefully slide the tortilla onto a plate, then invert it back into the skillet to cook the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes. Cook until fully set and golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with a side of greens.
