Potato Tortilla Recipe
I came across several recipes for this Spanish casserole on the Internet. All the options were different, but I combined together the ideas I particularly liked. It turned out extremely tasty. I will not say that all the nuances of Spanish cuisine are observed, because I am not a good connoisseur of it, so do not judge strictly and help yourself. This is a wonderful weekend breakfast!

  13. Pour the eggs over the vegetables. In one of the variants of this dish, it was proposed to bake this "happiness" in the oven. But from other options, I realized that traditionally the dish remains in the pan, which I did. First, fry the tortilla on one side. Then lift the edges and turn them over. In one of the original recipes it was written that the Spaniards roll it out like a pancake. In another, it was proposed to turn with a lid. I used a plate for this purpose. I made our Spanish casserole well with a spatula, covered it with a plate, turned it over and carefully returned it to the pan.

  14. We take it out of the mold in the same way, using a plate. Of course, to cook this dish "holistically", I had to make some efforts. But it was worth it! Very tasty and fragrant! Enjoy your meal!
