Tara’s tips

  • Low and slow is the key — you are softening the potatoes, not frying them crisp.
  • A plate and a confident flip make turning the tortilla easy.

Serving suggestions

  • Lovely warm or at room temperature, as a light meal or sliced into tapas.

Storage & reheating

Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days and tastes great cold.
