Ingredients
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- About ¼ cup + 2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
- 6 medium potatoes
- 1 white onion
- 6 eggs
Directions
Heat the garlic and a small amount of oil in a 10-inch frying pan until garlic is browned.
Add the rest of the oil and heat to about 375°F (200°C).
Cube or slice the potatoes and coarsely chop the onion; add to hot oil and fry until brown.
Strain the potatoes, onions, and garlic and reserve about 2 tablespoons oil.
Beat eggs in a separate bowl.
Add potatoes, onions, and garlic to beaten eggs and allow to sit for about 15 minutes.
Put reserved tablespoons of oil in original 10-inch frying pan and place over low-medium heat.
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.
Serve after cooked as a pizza with your choice of toppings: salsa , sour cream , shredded cheese , chives , etc., are all very good choices.
