Jose Andres' recipe with chips (!) is super simple and delicious:
7 eggs 1/2 bag of Route 11 potato chips 1 tsp. salt Beat 6 eggs in a bowl, add chips and mash them up a bit with a fork. Let them sit to soak in egg. Add 7th egg (already beaten) and salt (I don't add the salt here as salt on chips is usually enough for me, but you can try both ways). Heat small skillet (6-8 inches) with olive oil until almost smoking. Pour egg/chip mixture in and shake pan so it doesn't stick. Cook until well-finished around the edges and thickening up in the middle. Put plate on top and flip onto plate, then slide it back into the pan to finish cooking other side. Note: I often make with 6 eggs and don't add the 7th. The 7th makes for a runnier middle, which may be more authentic in terms of texture, but isn't easy to serve in pre-cut pieces and my 3yo doesn't like it. 6 eggs will cook up more solid in the middle. |

| It's easy. Peel and slice (thin slices) 2 potatoes. Peel and slice 1 small to medium sized onion. Cook the potatoes in olive oil over medium heat until almost done. Add salt to taste. Add the onion, and sautee as well, with the potatoes. Beat together 5-6 eggs. Add to the potatoes and onions. When done on one side, flip and let it cook on the other. Jose Andres should be shot for using potato chips. Unthinkable. |

| My family is from Spain, I have been there many times, and I have never, ever heard of using potato chips in a tortilla espanola. |

I make it without a written recipe, but this follows closely what I do. I fry the onions with the potatoes, however, and I don't use garlic. I lived in Madrid, Spain for about ten years and learned from the masters.  I've never heard of using potato chips in a tortilla though.
