Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 200 grams chorizo sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Rinse them in cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the potato slices and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly golden. Remove the potatoes and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves, then sauté them in the skillet for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the chorizo sausage (remove casings if necessary) to the pan. Break it into small pieces with a spatula and cook for about 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, layering them evenly over the chorizo, onion, and garlic mixture. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
Let the torta cool for 5 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with additional smoked paprika or parsley for presentation.
