The passage of time and new tastes, customs and products have placed this popular tapa into the limbo of oblivion, although, of course, it can still be enjoyed in many establishments. A simple and tasty tapa, colorful and cheerful (hence its name, a la flamenca), the Sevillian huevos a la flamenca are presented and eaten as a tapa or ración, depending on the customer. It is one of the most endearing and appetizing dishes in Sevillian culinary history.
Peel and slice the potato. Fry in a frying pan with olive oil. Reserve.
