Tortilla Espanola - Potato Slices

Potato Slices for Tortilla (c) 2007 L. Sierra Licensed to About.com

Cut the peeled potatoes in half lengthwise. Then, with the flat side on the cutting surface, slice the potato in pieces approximately 1/8-inch thick. Make sure to separate the pieces that stick together. It is not necessary to slice the potatoes paper thin and it is best not to use a food processor because most will slice the potatoes too thin. If you slice them a bit thick, don’t worry - it will simply take a bit longer for them to cook. As with any recipe, the more time you prepare it, the more you’ll know about how fast the potatoes fry, etc.
