Chef's Note
For a shortcut version, you can skip flipping the tortilla and instead finish it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the top is set and golden. This traditional Spanish dish is delicious served at room temperature, making it perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes
4 ounces Spanish chorizo
1 medium red bell pepper
1 small yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
8 large eggs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Slice 1 pound of Yukon gold potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Place in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 4-5 minutes until just tender but not mushy.
- 2
While potatoes cook, dice 4 ounces of Spanish chorizo, 1 medium red bell pepper, and 1 small yellow onion. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
- 3
In a large bowl, whisk 8 large eggs with 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
- 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook for 2 minutes until it begins to release its oils.
- 5
Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 6
Add the par-cooked potato slices to the skillet, gently stirring to combine with the chorizo mixture. Flatten into an even layer.
- 7
Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny.
- 8
Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then slide the tortilla back in, uncooked side down.
- 9
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and the center is just set.
- 10
Slide the finished tortilla onto a serving plate, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.
