Critical Success Points

  • Slice potatoes uniformly so they cook evenly.
  • Control oil temperature to avoid burning the potatoes.
  • Drain excess oil before mixing with eggs to prevent a greasy tortilla.
  • Flip the tortilla confidently to keep it intact.

Safety Warnings

  • Olive oil will be very hot; handle the skillet with oven mitts.
  • When flipping, keep your hands away from the steam and hot oil.
