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!

Ingredients
- 3 pieces Potatoes medium
- 2 pieces Bulgarian pepper mixed colors
- 0,5 piece Chili pepper
- 1 piece Onion
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 pieces Tomatoes average; I had 4 small
- 3 pieces Chicken eggs
- Black pepper to taste
- Greens to taste and desir
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying; ideally olive oil, but I had refined sunflower oil
Instructions
- First prepare all the vegetables. Cut onion into cubes or half rings, pepper into strips.
- Finely chop the garlic with a knife. Cut tomatoes across, pour boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove the skin. Chop the chili pepper into strips. If you don't want spicy or cooking for children, don't add chili.
- Potatoes in different recipes are offered to be cut in different ways: straws, plates, cubes. I chose a straw.
- Finely chop the greens.
- Cut the peeled tomatoes into cubes.
- Fry the potatoes in a small amount of vegetable oil. First on high heat. Do not add salt!
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion.
- Fry together until the potatoes are soft.
- Add pepper. Bulgarian pepper and chili, as well as garlic. Stir and fry together for about 5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes.
- Stir, now add salt and fry together for another five minutes. At this stage, you need to mix thoroughly, because after we salt, the potatoes will begin to fall apart.
- Beat the eggs with a fork with a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper and chopped herbs.
- 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.
- 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!
