Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes and Onions

    Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly. Slice the onion into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes and Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and onions, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Beat the Eggs

    In a large bowl, beat the eggs and season with black pepper. Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, drain them from the oil and add them to the bowl with the eggs. Mix gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook the Tortilla

    Wipe the skillet clean and add a little of the reserved olive oil. Pour the potato, onion, and egg mixture into the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes until the bottom is set and lightly browned.

  5. 5

    Flip the Tortilla

    Using a large plate, carefully flip the tortilla over and cook the other side for another 5 minutes, or until it is set and golden.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slide the tortilla onto a serving plate and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
