Tortilla (Spain)

The recipe I wrote down while in Spain that the lady cooking for Alba told me. I mixed the steps from another recipe.

6 potatoes (medium)

oil

7 eggs

Peel potatoes

Cut them into thin slices

fry with 2 tablespoons oil on low heat and cover with lid for 5 minutes (to soften)

turn up heat for another 5 minutes until golden brown

drain off any excess oil

Fry in a lot of oil on low heat. Mash potatoes a bit while cooking.

Remove all but a little oil, like 2 tablespoons left

Crack eggs and Beat/stir them until frothy

Add potatoes and mix and mash more

Add egg batter to pan, use high heat, until golden brown

once the outside has "set," turn down the heat to really low so the interior doesn't dry and the outside doesn't burn.

After a bit, turn over using a plate

Turn over a few times until ready
