Potato and Wild Garlic Tortilla-ish

This tortilla was a happy mistake I made for lunch one day when the sun was out and the wild garlic had only recently popped. It's at its best cooled and sliced on a toast with mayonnaise, if you ask me. But maybe you've got other ideas.

Ingredients:

​

1 large waxy or all-rounder potato (I used an alouette potato because that's what I had) - sliced thinly (approx 3mm)


Olive oil


1 medium-to-large onion - sliced into half moons


Handful of wild garlic


6 eggs

​

Salt & pepper

Method:

​

Heat a frying pan on medium heat, then add enough oil to cover the bottom.

​

Add the potatoes to the pan and let them brown slightly, moving and turning them occasionally so they all have a chance to brown a bit.

​

When the potatoes are starting to look like they've got some colour, add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt.

​

Stir the potatoes and onions for a few minutes, until the onions begin to soften a bit.

​

Now. Grab a lid for the frying pan and pour a splash of water in (just a couple of tablespoons). Cover quickly and let the potatoes and onions steam a little. You want it to be little enough water to steam itself away. Once they have steamed for a minute, check with a fork to see if the potatoes are cooked. Repeat the process until they're just about soft enough to eat.

​

Add the wild garlic and give it all a stir.

​

Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and pour over the potatoes. Try to make sure the potatoes are as even as possible.

​

Cover with the lid and let it cook for five minutes, then check if the top is firm. If it's still liquid, cover again until it firms up.

​

When it is firm, I like to flip the tortilla onto a plate and slide it back into the pan to brown the other side, but if the top is firm and you're hungry, the last step can be omitted.
