Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, and are less likely to fall apart when cooked.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the tortilla cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many potatoes, they will not cook evenly and the tortilla will be too thick.
  • Cook the tortilla over medium heat: This will help prevent it from burning.
  • Flip the tortilla carefully: Use a spatula to gently flip the tortilla halfway through cooking. If you flip it too often, it will break apart.
  • Let the tortilla cool slightly before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Zucchini potato tortilla is a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes and zucchini. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
