Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer if you have one for uniform slices.
Peel and slice the onion into thin strips or rings.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and onions, and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are tender but not breaking apart. Add a pinch of salt while cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well-beaten. Add the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, remove them from the skillet and allow them to cool for 5-7 minutes. Gently stir them into the beaten eggs, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Pour the potato-egg mixture back into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Cook the tortilla over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown. To prevent burning, ensure the heat is not too high.
Run a silicone spatula around the edges of the tortilla to loosen it from the skillet. Place a large plate or flat lid over the skillet, and carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate.
Slide the tortilla back into the skillet, uncooked side down, and cook for another 8-10 minutes on medium-low heat until fully set and golden brown on both sides.
Remove the tortilla from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
