Seriously, how is a potato chip any different from the fried potato that’s traditionally part of this Spanish staple?

Ingredients

5 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons milk (any fat content)
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 leek, sliced (about 1/2 cup)
½ onion, sliced (about 1/2 cup)
1 carrot, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
4 tablespoons shredded cheese (such as cheddar or—our favorite—smoked provolone)
Potato chips

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

    6. Pour in the egg mixture until each cup is three-quarters full. Add a few potato chips to each.
