Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice potatoes into 1/8-inch coins. Thinly slice the onion. Heat 3 tbsp oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium.

  2. Step 2

    Add potatoes and onion, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, ~10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk eggs with paprika and a pinch of salt. Pour over potatoes, tilting pan so egg settles into gaps. Cook without stirring until edges set but center jiggles, ~5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Slide tortilla onto a plate. Invert skillet over it, then flip both—tortilla lands back in the pan, cooked side up. Cook 2 minutes more until bottom is golden.

  5. Step 5

    Stir together mayo and minced garlic. Slice baguette lengthwise and spread aioli on both sides.

  6. Step 6

    Slide tortilla onto a cutting board. Cut into 4 wedges and nestle into the baguette. Serve warm or at room temperature.
