1-Preheat oven and prepare muffin tin: First, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) and brush a 12-hole muffin tin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. This initial step sets the stage for easy removal later, which is especially helpful if you’re using a metal tin try silicone ones for even better results.

2-Boil and slice potatoes: Scrub 300 grams of new potatoes and boil them whole for 10 minutes until they’re nearly cooked, then drain and let them cool slightly.

3-Cook onion, chorizo, and potatoes: Next, peel and finely slice the 1 small red onion (about 100 grams), and chop 75 grams of chorizo sausage into small pieces. Once the potatoes have cooled, slice them into rounds for even distribution. Now, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and chopped chorizo, cooking them until the onion softens and becomes translucent. This usually takes a few minutes, filling your kitchen with an inviting aroma that’s perfect for family cooking sessions. Once the onion and chorizo are ready, stir in the sliced potatoes and fry everything together for another 2 minutes. This step infuses the potatoes with the flavorful oils, enhancing the overall dish. Then, evenly distribute the mixture into the prepared muffin tin holes, making sure each one gets a good amount for uniform baking.

4-Assemble and bake: In a separate bowl, beat the 6 large eggs until they’re well combined, then pour this over the potato mixture in the muffin tin. The eggs will bind everything together, creating those puffed, golden tops that make mini Spanish omelettes so appealing. Pop the tin into the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the omelettes are puffed up and golden brown. After baking, let them cool slightly before serving warm with a leafy salad, as suggested in the recipe.
