Tortilla de Potato Chips
A bag of potato chips and 8 eggs make a authentic Spanish TAPA so simple you won’t believe it. It’s a real Tortilla Española but so much easier. I learned this technique from world-famous chef Ferran Adriá and have been grateful ever since. It takes minutes to fix a super healthy lunch for less than $3. What’s not to love about that?
