- ¼ cup red wine vinegar

Spanish Tortilla
- Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into about ¼ inch pieces. Prepare the onion and garlic.
- Heat ¼ cup of the olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet and add the potatoes and onion. Cook the onion and potatoes for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Add the garlic to the skillet and saute for another minute. Remove the potato mixture from heat and set aside to cool.
- While the potatoes are cooking, whisk the eggs in a large bowl with salt and pepper. Once the potatoes are cooked and have cooled a bit, add them to the eggs and mix to combine.
- Add 2 tablespoons to a medium skillet and heat over medium-low heat. Add half the egg and potato mixture to the skillet and cook uncovered for about 5 minutes. The bottom should be a golden brown color before flipping.
- To flip the tortilla, get a large plate and place it over the tortilla in the pan. Flip the pan over so the tortilla is on the plate. Oil the pan again with another 2 tablespoons of oil then carefully slide the tortilla off the plate and back onto the pan to cook the other side.
- Cook the tortilla for another 5 minutes until it is fully cooked. Remove the tortilla from the pan and repeat with the remaining egg and potato mix.
- Serve the Spanish tortillas with fresh salsa on top and enjoy!
