Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 3 large eggs

• 3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 large wax potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 onion, coarsley chopped
• 1 cup chorizo sausage, sliced

Recipe

• 1 crack eggs into a bowl and whisk with a fork, adding a pinch of salt.
• 2 heat oil in a frying pan.
• 3 add the potato and fry for a couple of minutes. add onion and chorizo.
• 4 when potato starts to brown on the edges and is mashed with onion in a lumpy fashion, add eggs. make sure potato and onions are fully submerged by eggs. poke potatoes to allow egg to seep into mixture.
• 5 fry gently on low heat. shake pan to loosen the tortilla from and tidy edges with a wooden spoon. do not overcook. center should remain gooey.
• 6 egg will start setting, as this happens place a plate over pan, a large enough plate to cover the pan substantially. flip tortilla over plate and slide back into the pan to cook underside. keep shaking pan lightly so tortilla does not stick.
• 7 once firm on the edges and soft in the middle (after about 1 minute) slide tortilla onto plate.
• 8 let the tortilla rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. dust with paprika. cut into cake slices or cubes. garnish with green olives.
