TORTILLA DE PATATAS. ( SPANISH POTATO OMELETTE)
The "secret" ingredient here is the baking powder, as that will make it rise. Normally we use left over chips for this omelette and you can add sausasges, mushrooms or even chicken. Use whatever leftovers you have in your fridge. This is eaten hot or cold. Nice either way. If you dont have any left over chips, just fry some and use.

Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes and will give your tortilla a more even texture.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary, so that they have enough room to brown.
- Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
- Use a well-seasoned pan: This will help prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- Cook the tortilla over medium heat: This will help the potatoes cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the tortilla carefully: Use a large spatula and be gentle so that you don't break the tortilla.
- Let the tortilla rest before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
