Here’s what you will need:
4 large potatoes, about 700g
2 tbsp olive oil
6 eggs, lightly beaten
OK, here’s what to do…
1. Pierce the potatoes with a fork several times and microwave on high (900W) for 10 mins or (800W) for 11 mins.
Leave to cool and then skin and grate the semi-hard potatoes into a bowl.
2. Next, preheat your grill. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and add the potatoes ensuring an even spread in the pan.
Fry for a few minutes until golden underneath and then grill for just 5 mins to brown the top of the potatoes.
Return pan to medium heat on the hob and pour in the beaten eggs then cook for 5 minutes until golden underneath.
Now place the pan under the grill once again for 1-2 minutes just until the egg has set.
3. Cut the tortilla into wedges. Serve with vegetable sticks, such as carrot and red peppers, and add some rocket lettuce leaves.
How simple is that, yet a tasty and nutritious meal. Enjoy.
