TORTILLA DE PAPAS

In Argentina, where Adriana grew up, it is pronounced:   tor-tea-sha  day  pa-pas

I asked Adriana for the recepe and she later emailed me the following:

Hi David,  Here is the recipe for: Tortilla de papas

3 medium potatoes peeled and diced. 1 small onion cut in small pieces

3 or 4 beaten eggs (enough to cover the potatoes and onion in the frying pan) salt, pepper (optional)

Instructions
 - Put some oil in a frying pan and when its hot add the potatoes.
- Once the potatoes are done add the onions.
- Beat the eggs till fluffy and add salt and pepper to taste and then pour into the frying pan where the potatoes and onions are trying to cover it all. (let it sit, dont scramble)
 - Let it cook for a few minutes and then flip it to the other side using a cover or a plate, after a few minutes, its ready.

Hope it turns out good!
