This Tortilla recipe is demanding for easy-going Slackers. However, every Slacker occasionally want a new jig. And that means the Slacker Mission Statement goes to the wall. This recipe cannot be done in 5 minutes but it’s got only three ingredients and is cheap so the Mission Statement hasn’t been ditched entirely.
Ingredients
Two eggs
One onion
One large potato (or two)
Preparation
One small frying pan
One saucepan
Whisk the eggs in a cereal bowl
Thin slice the onion
Thin slice – think translucent – the potato
Technique
Fry the potato crispy brown on both sides
Take them out and put on plate
Carmelise the onion in butter in the saucepan. This means cooking slowly until deep brown. DO NOT rush your fences or you lose the rich flavour
Put half of the cooked potato in the frying pan and spread evenly on a low heat
Spread the onion on top
Pour the egg on top to soak in
Put the remainder of the potato on top of that
Increase the heat and cover the frying pan. Cook slowly. About 3 minutes
Outcome
A wonderful new experience. This is a filling cheap meal with swagger.
