This a fast , fun , and funny version of the traditional Basque tortilla made with cubes potatoes. Dorie explained in her book that the French would call this clin d'oeil , a wink , at the original ,and they'd surprised not only at the potato chips that stand in for the usual sautèed spuds, but at the creator , Jean-Franςois Piège , formerly the chef of Les Ambassadeurs, the Michelin starred restaurant in Le Crillon. One thing good about Dorie, she will play around the recipe and give us her best version of this french recipe. I love reading her short write out on this recipe. It is indeed fast to prepare, fun making them and funny because not a soul had any inkling that what they were savoring had been a snack food of a type they 'd never eat ! She is so funny :) I made this for my breakfast bento this morning and Dorie suggested it can be served as a hors d’doeuvre for dinner parties. It can be made ahead and served at room temperature. Love it ! You can serve this for your coming Christmas party and I am sure you will have your guests and family members licking their fingers for more !
