Epic Kitchen Hack and Sweet Potato Tortilla Española

As it turned out, it was actually a good thing that I didn’t make pancakes yesterday. I forgot to get cooking spray, again. So I walked down to CityShop to get cooking spray and…………… there was none:( Back to square 1. I looked around the kitchen for some inspiration and found baking sheets.

Basically, I just used my pan, traced a circle on a some baking paper, cut it out and put it in the pan. It worked beautifully, I used it to make some very untraditional tortilla española, using sweet potatoes (recipe below)

Caveat: The baking sheet will need some water to make it stick to the pan and does shrink a bit under heat. It moves around so flipping will require 2 spatulas. Also, the paper will need to be greased slightly and flipped if you plan on using it multiple times
The sweet potato really doesn't react well to oxygen. I guess the blue color is kind if cool
