ABUELA'S TORTILLA DE PAPAS

Have you ever wondered what to do with leftover french fries?  Abuela showed us how to make this amazing dish using leftover fries.  It absolutely rocks!  It tastes as good cold as it does warm.  Mmm mm mm mm mmmmmmmm.


ABUELA GATHERING INGREDIENTS

1 Onion ~ chopped
4 Cups French Fries cut into 1/2" sized cubes.
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3 - 4 Jumbo eggs, whisked with just a splash of milk


MIXING THE INGREDIENTS

Saute the chopped onions with 1 Tablespoon olive oil.  Let cool.  Combine onions with french fries and whisked eggs.  Mix well enough to coat the potatoes evenly.


COOKING THE FIRST SIDE

Pour into pre-heated skillet with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.  Let cook over med / high heat until top starts to set.  (About 8 - 10 minutes)


Abuela was using a gas range so she used a metal heat diffuser to help distribute the heat.
