How to Make Tortilla de Patatas

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: sunflower oil

Avocado oil offers a healthier fat profile.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal + water

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal is a plant-based alternative.

onions

🥗Healthier: scallions

💰Cheaper: leeks

Scallions add freshness while leeks are often less expensive.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns

Sweet potatoes provide more nutrients, while hash browns save prep time.

Peel one white potato using a knife.

Slice the potato into tiny little cubes, ensuring they are of even shape for even cooking.

Put the oven on medium-high heat.

Add enough vegetable oil to a frying pan to completely cover the potatoes.

Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, take them out and place them on a plate with paper towels to soak up the extra oil.

Use the leftover oil in the pan to add chopped white onions and cook with salt until they are a little translucent and fragrant.

Add the cooked potatoes to the pan with the onions.

Crack 4 eggs into the pan and mix to ensure all ingredients are evenly spread out.

Once the edges of the egg are firm and the top is mostly cooked, flip the tortilla using a plate.

Slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook the other side until golden and cooked evenly.
