Totally Tortilla

by | Mar 29, 2011 | Eggs, Food

My brother, also a chef, once said "the egg is a perfect food in a shell." He's right. I've been cooking eggs a long time. Back in my army days, I cooked thousands of eggs a day. Later, I did the same working as a hotel breakfast cook. And then, of course, I've cooked a lot of eggs at home. One particular egg favorite is a tortilla Espanola, which is basically eggs, potatoes, and onion with lots of olive oil. When perfectly cooked, it makes for spherical golden goodness!

The tortilla is great, Spanish-style comfort food. For anytime, with any sort of accompaniment, hot or room temperature, snack or breakfast, lunch or even for tapas. My recipe is below.

3 scrambled eggs

2 waxy potatoes, diced into finger nail size, (your pinkie!)

Olive oil, copious amounts, but don't drown or deep fry!

Frying pan….

Salt, pepper, pimenton if your into smokey paprika?

This is just a general road map, try it, you'll really like the result!
