Potato tortillas are a staple of Spanish/Mexican cuisine- partly because they are so easy to make! This recipe uses mature cheddar for a delicious cheesy flavour.
Ingredients
- 450g (1lb) potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 6 large eggs
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 10ml (2tsp) dried mixed herbs
- 50g (2oz) mature Cheddar cheese, grated
- Salad and olives, to serve
WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas 4. Grease a 19 x 23cm (71/2 x 9in) cake tin.
- Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 3-4 mins. Drain well and arrange in the cake tin.
- Beat together the eggs, garlic, mixed herbs and two-thirds of the cheese. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and pour the seasoned mixture over the potatoes.
- Sprinkle over the rest of the cheese. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown and firm to the touch. Cool for 10 mins, then cut into wedges. Serve warm or cold with salad and olives.
