How to make Microwave Potatoes for Tortilla:
The first thing we must do to cook the potatoes in the microwave for tortillas is to peel them and cut them into equal pieces. As a trick for faster and more even cooking, we recommend cutting them thin and/or small. Then, we put the chopped potatoes in a microwave-safe container, add a splash of olive oil, salt to taste and mix. If you want to prepare a potato and onion omelette, chop the onion finely and mix it with the potatoes.
We cook the potatoes for tortillas in the microwave with the container covered, at maximum power and with short time intervals of no more than 3 minutes. After these first minutes, remove, stir with a wooden spoon, and cook 3 more minutes. We repeat this step until cooking the potatoes for 12-15 minutes in total, depending on each microwave.
Once the potatoes are soft, it is time to mix them with the beaten eggs and prepare the omelette as usual. Without a doubt, cooking potatoes in the microwave for an omelette is not only a much faster way, but it is also healthier because we have barely used a dash of oil. If you are wondering how many eggs are needed for a two-potato omelette like this one, the answer is 5.
