Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium golden potatoes
- 1 piece medium yellow onion
- 6 pieces eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Set them aside.
Peel and finely slice the onion into thin half-moons.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the potato slices to the skillet, spreading them out evenly. Stir occasionally and cook for about 10 minutes until soft but not browned.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet with the potatoes and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring gently, until the onions are translucent and the potatoes are fully tender.
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with the sea salt and ground black pepper until well combined.
Transfer the cooked potatoes and onions into the mixing bowl with the eggs. Stir gently to coat the vegetables evenly in the egg mixture.
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Pour the potato and egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Lower the heat to medium-low.
Cook the tortilla undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown. Gently shake the pan to loosen the tortilla.
Place a large plate upside down over the skillet, carefully flip the skillet to invert the tortilla onto the plate.
Slide the tortilla back into the skillet with the uncooked side facing down. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until fully set and cooked through.
Slide the finished Tortilla de Patata onto a clean plate. Let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges and serving.
