For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the potato mixture before air frying. Ensure your cake pan fits comfortably within the air fryer basket, leaving enough room for air circulation. Serve warm or at room temperature. This tortilla is delicious on its own or as part of a tapas spread.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSoak the potato cubes in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. (10 minutes)
02
StepPreheat your air fryer to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
03
StepDrain and thoroughly pat the potatoes dry. Toss with olive oil in a bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated.
04
StepTransfer the potatoes to the air fryer basket and cook for 18 minutes.
05
StepIncrease the air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Shake the basket to redistribute the potatoes, then add the sliced leek. Shake again to combine. Continue cooking until the leek is softened, approximately 3 minutes. (3 minutes)
06
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, salt, and pepper.
07
StepPour the egg mixture into a 6-inch nonstick cake pan. Gently fold in the cooked potatoes and leek, distributing them evenly.
08
StepPlace the cake pan into the air fryer basket. Cook until the tortilla is golden brown on top and the center is set (no longer jiggles), about 15 minutes. (15 minutes)
09
