Ingredients


1 kg ( 2 lb 3 oz) Potatoes
5 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 Tbsp Chopped Onion
6 Eggs
1/2 tsp Salt


Method

Peel the potatoes and either cut them into slices about 1.5 cm ( 1/2 inch) thick, or chop them into 1.5 cm ( 1.2 inch) dice. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the potatoes slowly until fork-tender, about 30 minutes, adding the chopped onion towards the end (it burns if added earlier).

Beat the eggs in a bowl with the salt. Place a plate over the potatoes and tip out the excess oil. Combine the potatoes and onion with the beaten eggs. Add the oil to the frying pan and pour in the mixture of eggs and potatoes. Cook the tortilla on a medium heat until set on one side. Shake the pan to keep the tortilla loosened on the bottom. Place a plate on top of the pan. Hold it tightly and reverse the pan, so the tortilla turns out on the plate. If necessary, add more oil to the pan. Slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook on the reverse side. It only needs 5 minutes more. Slide out on to a serving plate.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
