"I normally hate anything Iām not immediately good at..." - I relate to this so much! There are several recipes where I may have slightly burnt or overcooked something so its a bit chew or it visually doesn't look like the recipe photo and I'm so disheartened. Dramatic, I know!
The only wrist exercise you can do it to keep making tortilla de patata so you get the culinary and wrist practice combined! Alternatives could be...tennis? š
Yeah I get way too upset over minor mishaps, even non-culinary related. Iām pretty sure my burning hatred for bowling comes from accidentally throwing the ball behind me at a middle school birthday party and almost dying of embarrassment.
You wanna know the sad part? I actually played tennis in high school š¤£ I think more tortilla trials are in order!
The truth is I was referencing maybe 15 years ago, when I kept trying to hold them completely in my hand while peeling. The side that was already peeled kept slipping out of my hand, which is how I dropped them all the time š¤·š»āāļøš
Ā”Felicidades! Congrats!!!! You did it! We all had to go through that experience for the first time! So it's not just you, we Spaniards have also felt fear the first time we've faced turning the tortilla over, with that logical fear of running out of dinner or burning our hands. So congratulations to you, Kiki! šššAnd the look is perfect, I think I'm going to the kitchen right now to prepare dinner! šš
Hahaha thanks so much, Ćngeles!! I have to keep practicing but I was proud of my first try. I still have a while to catch up with you guys, though š

Yes, Natalie, me too! If I'm not good at something immediately, I get so cranky. "Why bother then?!"
I'm happy to meet others who share this affliction.š
This looks amazing! Also: what type of potato peeler do you use?
Thanks! Definitely worth repeating!
Our potato peeler is Kuhn Rikon and very similar to this one: https://kuhnrikon.com/us/cutting/swiss-easy-clean-peeler-red-27849-u.html
We also have one thatās all metal, but I donāt use it as much. The KR one we have does a great job! Do you have a favorite?
Okay that is similar to what I use! I just could not figure our how you were dropping them peeling them!

Practice makes perfect! Just keep on trying! For me, first times where really a mess! š š„°
Amazing! Well done you šš¼ can't wait to try it myself now š¤¤
Anticipating the flip is the worst part!š
Excellent job! It looks delicious.
