Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick). Peel and thinly slice the onion.
Heat 1 cup of olive oil in a large, nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add the sliced potatoes and onions. Cook gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but not browned.
Drain the cooked potatoes and onions through a sieve, reserving the oil for later use. Season the vegetables with 1 teaspoon of salt while they're still warm.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and beat lightly. Add the cooked potatoes and onions to the eggs, stirring gently to combine. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved olive oil in the same frying pan over medium heat. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Lower the heat and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown.
Place a large plate over the pan and carefully invert the tortilla onto the plate. Add another tablespoon of the reserved oil to the pan, then slide the tortilla back into the pan, uncooked side down. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the tortilla is fully set.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the tortilla cool slightly before slicing it into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy a taste of Spain!
