Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, about 1 cm.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    In the skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the potato cubes and cook them for 15 min, stirring now and then, until tender and lightly golden.

  3. Beat the eggs

    In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Tip · For a really tender tortilla, don't overbeat the eggs, just enough to blend them.

  4. Add the potatoes to the eggs

    Tip the cooked potatoes into the bowl with the beaten eggs. Mix well and let it sit for 5 min.

  5. Cook the tortilla

    Tip the mixture back into the hot skillet (no need to add oil) over low heat. Let it cook for 8 min without touching it, then flip the tortilla onto a plate and slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side for 5 min.

    Tip · If the tortilla sticks a little, turn the heat down and add a teaspoon of water to the skillet.

  6. Make the salad

    Wash the lettuce, spin it dry and cut it into strips. In a bowl, toss it with the vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
