Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes
- 1 large onions
- 6 eggs
- 100 milliliters olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, even slices.
Finely slice the onion.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced potatoes and onions to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat everything evenly with olive oil.
Cook on medium-low heat until the potatoes are tender but not browned, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk them until well beaten.
Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, drain off the excess oil and let them cool slightly.
Add the slightly cooled potato-onion mixture to the beaten eggs and mix well to combine.
Heat a little bit of the reserved olive oil in a clean, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour the potato-onion-egg mixture into the skillet and spread it evenly.
Cook on one side until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Carefully flip the tortilla using a large plate or lid and cook the other side until it is fully set, another 5-7 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the tortilla onto a serving plate, let it cool slightly, and slice it into wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
