Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 6 large Eggs
- 100 ml Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices or small cubes, about 2-3 mm thick.
Peel and finely slice the onion.
In a large non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced potatoes and onions to the pan, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft but not browned.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked potatoes and onions from the oil and transfer them to a large bowl. Let them cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the salt until well combined.
Pour the beaten eggs over the cooled potatoes and onions, gently stirring to coat everything evenly.
Heat a little of the reserved olive oil in a clean non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.
Pour the potato, onion, and egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and the top begins to set.
Carefully place a large plate over the pan and flip the tortilla onto the plate. Slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes, until golden and fully set.
Remove the tortilla from the pan and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
