Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer if available for even slices.
Slice the onion in half, then cut it into thin slices.
Heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced potatoes and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not browned. Add a pinch of salt while cooking.
While the potatoes and onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining salt and black pepper, then whisk until fully blended.
Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them into the egg mixture. Stir gently until everything is well combined. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Clean the skillet and return it to the stove. Heat the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil over medium-low heat.
Pour the potato-egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook on medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom of the tortilla begins to brown. Shake the skillet gently to ensure the tortilla doesn’t stick.
Place a large, flat plate or lid over the skillet. Carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side. Let it cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until fully set and lightly golden.
Once cooked, slide the tortilla de patata onto a clean plate and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious, Whole30-compliant meal.
