INSTAPOT 15 BEAN SOUP

 I used a bag of 15 beans mixed, but threw away the flavoring.

I soaked for a couple hours, drained, put in 8 cups of water and half a huge Florida onion, some Salute 21, black pepper, and powdered garlic.

I cooked using the automatic setting on the Instapot and leaving much of the steam to escape.  I unplugged at 23.  The beans were fine and soft and tasty.

SPANISH TORTILLA

 I used the non stick pans and they worked great.  Thinly slice the potatoes.  I used red this time.

Put them at the same moment into plenty of olive oil  and add spices.  I used pepper, garlic, and onion.  It is better with fresh, but I had powder.  Cook medium or low until the potatoes are soft and have absorbed a good bit of the Oil.  I don't brown the potatoes.  I both cover and uncover.

Take the wooden spatula and coarsely chop the potatoes.

In a small bowl wisk the eggs.  Pour the cooked potatoes in the bowl and stir to mix.  Pour the mixture back in the pan and shake to keep from sticking.  I cooked this section at medium.

Cook until the eggs are done.  Flip the tortilla.  This pan made that very easy, but I still placed a plate on the top and turned the whole tortilla over and slid it back in the pan.

Cook again until the egg is fully cooked.  Again, don't brown.

Slide on a large plate.  Done.
