Not exactly health food, but if you fancy a quick tortilla without having to cook potatoes, you can substitute these shoestring ones. You can also leave out the onions if you want this to be extra quick. There are several versions of potato crisp/chip tortillas out there, including one that was apparently made famous by Ferran Adrià, but I find that the potato straws stay a bit crunchier after cooking, which I like.

Ingredients and instructions below…

• 4 eggs
• 1 packet potato straws
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 tbsps olive oil
• freshly ground black pepper
• salt to taste (be careful as the straws are already salty)

Pre-heat a small frying pan to medium, season the onion with black pepper and sautée in olive oil until tender and just starting to brown, remove from heat. Whisk four eggs in a bowl and stir in the onions and potato straws. Return the same pan to a medium-high heat. There should still be enough oil in the pan to keep the tortilla from sticking, if not just add a bit more. Pour the omelette mixture into the pre-heated pan, then turn down heat to medium-low. Move the pan around to keep the omelette from sticking and when it seems about half-way cooked, slide it onto a plate, cover the plate with the pan, and flip the omelette back into the pan. Cook another few minutes until the egg is set.
