I´m spanish, and I think this recipe is quite good except for the first step, you shouldn´t, never, cook the potatoes before frying them. another advise:the oil must be very hot for the frying.

Delicious! I wanted it to be like the ones I have had in Spain, so did not cook the potatoes first. I usually lower the fat in recipes, but this is one you really cannot, at least olive oil is a good fat. A must for any potato lover!

I made this recipe for pick a chef:) A great tasting recipe with easy instructions. I followed the recipe except I added a clove of garlic to the onions and 1/2 a green pepper. Thank you wendys kitchen,I would make this recipe often.

this is one of my favorite appetizer type things to make! I like to add a few cloves of garlic to the oil as potato and onion cook, and then salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the actual tortilla when i cook it.
