  2. 2

    Heat the butter and oil in a skillet. Add the potatoes and lower the heat to cook them gently without browning.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, slice the onion into half-moons and crack the eggs into a bowl. Mix the eggs well, but do not beat them completely.

    Once the potatoes are ready, transfer them to the bowl with the eggs. In the same skillet, sauté the onions until softened.

  5. 5

    Pour the egg and potato mixture into the skillet. Add salt and pepper to taste (you can also add a bit of herbs if you like). Cover and cook over very low heat. When almost set, use a plate to flip the tortilla and cook until done to your liking.

  6. 6

    Cut into slices and serve with wine or beer. I served it with a little onion jam or, in Mexican style, with salsa. It turned out delicious! You can try adding your own twist, like bacon, ham, or vegetables. 😋🤤 Hope you enjoy it! 🐬💞

Una actividad que me relaja y además me permite compartir y demostrar mi cariño es cocinar.Probar nuevos sabores, explorar platillos de otras latitudes, son cosas que disfruto mucho, pero no siempre se puede asistir a los lugares donde preparan lo que se nos antoja porque están lejanos, y viajar tan frecuente no siempre es posible, entonces hay que buscar opciones y una de ellas es aprender a preparar esos platillos y lo mejor de todo es cuando lo compartes con tu familia y/o amigos. Cocinarles es una de las formas que me gusta apapacharlos (abrazar con el alma) y demostrarles que los amo🥧💕🥘💖🍝💞🍳
