Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • About ¼ cup + 2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
  • 6 medium potatoes
  • 1 white onion
  • 6 eggs

Directions

  1. Heat the garlic and a small amount of oil in a 10-inch frying pan until garlic is browned.
  2. Add the rest of the oil and heat to about 375°F (200°C).
  3. Cube or slice the potatoes and coarsely chop the onion; add to hot oil and fry until brown.
  4. Strain the potatoes, onions, and garlic and reserve about 2 tablespoons oil.
  5. Beat eggs in a separate bowl.
  6. Add potatoes, onions, and garlic to beaten eggs and allow to sit for about 15 minutes.
  7. Put reserved tablespoons of oil in original 10-inch frying pan and place over low-medium heat.
  8. Add egg/potato/onion/garlic mixture to frying pan; fry, lifting up edges of tortilla española to allow uncooked egg to run underneath and cook.
  9. Serve after cooked as a pizza with your choice of toppings: salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, etc., are all very good choices.
