  • 3 tablespoons olive oil – add a little additional if preferred
  • 2 potatoes (about 12 ounces) – peeled and thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 8 large eggs
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan Cheese

Prepare

  • Heat the olive oil in a 9- to 10-inch nonstick skillet
  • Add the potatoes and chorizo and cook, covered, over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes – until the potatoes start browning and becoming tender
  • Add the mushrooms, scallions, and garlic and sauté over high heat, uncovered, for about 2 minutes
  • Set aside in the skillet

Preheat the broiler

Beat together the eggs, salt, pepper, and chives in a bowl

Add the eggs to the potatoes and cook over high heat, stirring with a fork, until the eggs are mostly set, about 1 minute – it’s perfectly okay if egg mixture is slightly wet.

Sprinkle the cheese over the tortilla and place the skillet under the hot broiler for about 2 minutes to set the top.

Slide the tortilla onto a plate – if sticking to pan, pour small amount of oil around it

(pour a little oil around it to release it if it sticks to the pan).

Cut into wedges and serve and enjoy
