Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Dice the onion into small pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 0.25 cup olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium. Add potatoes and onion, stirring gently, until potatoes are tender but not brown, ~12 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    While potatoes cook, beat eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Brush empanadas lightly with remaining oil and arrange on a small sheet pan.

  4. Step 4

    Pour eggs over potatoes in the skillet, tilting to distribute evenly. Cook on the stove over medium until edges set but center still jiggles, ~3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer skillet to the broiler (or place sheet pan of empanadas under broiler). Cook until tortilla is set and golden, ~2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Slide tortilla onto a cutting board. Serve warm wedges with crispy empanadas and aioli on the side.
