Spanish tortilla

Ingredients:
  • 4 big potatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 1 cup of oil
  • 1/2 chorizo
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

– Peel the potatoes and cut them in squares. Mix them with the chopped onion and cook in oil in low heat. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chorizo cut into pieces. Beat the eggs. Add the potatoes without the oil. Clean the frying pan, heat it and pour a little bit of oil. Heat it well, add the potato mixture, the egg and the chorizo. Cook on one side, turn it with a lid and finish cooking on the other side.

For the tortilla not to stick to the pan, cook it in a clean frying pan with not much oil and very hot.

I would love for you to give it a try and let me know how you go. And again, this is a special recipe that was given to me by my mother. ♥️
