Tortilla de patatas (fritas)

Tortilla de patatas (fritas)#

Original recipe: Food Gal

4 servings. It’s a nice way to use leftover fries

Ingredients#

  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil, more as needed (adjust for the fries oil level)

  • 1 serving of leftover fast food fries (preferably thicker ones, like KFC), one recipe suggests cutting them into shorter chunks

  • 4 eggs

  • salt (adjust for the fries salinity)

  • black pepper

  • like half an onion, cut into feathers

Preparation#

  1. Heat a small pan (I used one TODO diameter) over medium heat, add oil, fries, and onion, fry for 3-4 minutes.

  2. crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper and mix well, otherwise some servings will be over- and some under-salted.

  3. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the egg mix. You can rotate the pan to encourage even cooking.

  4. After a few minutes (OG recipe says 8, i think mine was shorter due to size), when sides are cooked, but the middle isn’t, rotate the tortilla using a spatula.

  5. After roughly the same amount of time or when you check its cooked through, take it off the pan, and cut into 8 slices. It’s very good eaten cold from the fridge the next day.

Makes/Notes#

  1. 6th July make, undermixed batter, the tortilla was a bit too thin to my taste with TODO diameter and 4 eggs.

  2. May try with more eggs per cm of radius.

  3. May test Kimchi and beans fries to egg ratio.
