How to make Microwave Omelets Potatoes:
- The first thing to 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 drizzle of olive oil, salt to taste and mix.
- If you want to prepare a potato and onion omelet, chop the onion finely and mix it with the potatoes.
- We cook the potatoes for the tortilla 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 for 3 more minutes.
- We repeat this step until the potatoes are cooked 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 omelet as usual.
- Without a doubt, cooking potatoes in the microwave for tortillas is not only a much faster way, but it is also healthier because we have barely used a splash of oil
