Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g potatoes
- 120 g frozen peas
- 150 g bacon
- 6 eggs
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes (approximately 1 cm). Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the potato cubes to the pan along with a pinch of salt, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, slice the bacon into small pieces. In another frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
In the same pan used for the bacon, cook the frozen peas over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs with the remaining salt and black pepper. Stir in the cooked potatoes, peas, and bacon.
Clean the original frying pan and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly.
Cook the tortilla over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, gently shaking the pan occasionally, until the bottom is golden and the edges are set.
Place a large plate over the pan and carefully invert the tortilla onto the plate. Slide the tortilla back into the pan with the uncooked side down and cook for another 5 minutes until fully set.
Slide the tortilla onto a clean plate and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.
