Ingredients

• 200 g chorizo sausage
• 300 g potatoes
• 6 large eggs
• 1 medium onion
• 100 g cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Cut the onion into thin slices as well.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onions, and cook, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes until softened. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the chorizo sausage into small pieces. In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and fry the chorizo for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Add the cooked potatoes, onions, and chorizo. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

Grate the cheddar cheese and stir it into the egg mixture.

Step 6

Return the frying pan to medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and cook the tortilla for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottom is set and the edges are starting to pull away from the pan.

Step 8

Using a large plate, carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate, then slide it back into the pan to cook the other side. Cook for another 5 minutes until golden brown and fully set.

Step 9

Remove the tortilla from the pan and let it cool slightly before slicing it into wedges.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
