Treat your ingredients with care...

• Potatoes — Make sure to slice the potatoes thinly to ensure even cooking and a tender texture.
• Onions — Caramelizing the onions adds a sweet and savory flavor to the omelette. Cook them until they are golden brown for the best taste.
• Eggs — Beat the eggs well to incorporate air and create a fluffy texture in the omelette.

Tips & Tricks

• For a twist, you can add diced bell peppers or chorizo to the omelette mixture for extra flavor.
• Serve the Pincho de Tortilla Skewers with a dollop of aioli or tomato sauce for dipping.
• If you prefer a softer omelette, cook it for a shorter time. For a firmer texture, cook it a bit longer.
• Make sure to let the omelette cool slightly before cutting it into pieces to avoid crumbling.
• These skewers can be made in advance and refrigerated. Just reheat them in the oven before serving.

Serving advice

Arrange the Pincho de Tortilla Skewers on a platter and garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color. Serve them as an appetizer or tapas dish at your next gathering or enjoy them as a light meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, you can drizzle a balsamic reduction or sprinkle some paprika over the skewers. Serve them on a wooden board or a decorative platter to add a rustic touch.
