Cooking with Kian puts the Spanish tortilla flip on the menu
Potatoes, onion and eggs fill the week's most-watched new upload, with carnitas tacos arriving next.

Spanish Tortilla! Recipe linked in bio!
Kian calls it "one of my favorite simple dishes," though the plate-assisted flip gives his Spanish tortilla a small moment of kitchen suspense. After gently cooking sliced potatoes and onion in oil, he folds them into beaten eggs, sets the mixture in a skillet and turns it over to finish the other side.
The tortilla drew about 218,000 views, making it the most-watched of Cooking with Kian's two new uploads. In the comments, the conversation crosses borders: Spanish viewers mention serving it with fresh bread, another reader recognizes a potato omelet, and a viewer in Algeria remembers their mother identifying the dish as Spanish. One commenter admits their own attempt at that flip would leave the kitchen covered in eggs.
Carnitas tacos followed later in the week. The tortilla had the larger opening-day audience, but the tacos are now the channel's fastest-moving upload. There is older food on the table, too: the smoked brisket burger we covered earlier continues drawing views, alongside September's honey chipotle chicken tenders.
The channel added 10,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is currently below its usual pace. Among nearby food channels, Andy Cooks had a particularly busy viewing week; Epicurious had a quieter one, with no subscriber gain. Kian's own week brought more than five million views across the channel, with a straightforward potato-and-egg dish supplying the newest reason to stop by.

I came for the recipe, but I stayed for Kian’s awesome energy. You make flipping a massive potato cake look like a walk in the park. My kitchen would have been covered in eggs. 10/10!❤
