Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes and Onion

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Beat the Eggs

    In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, drain off excess oil and mix them into the bowl with the beaten eggs. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Cook the Tortilla

    In the same frying pan, add a little olive oil if needed, and pour the potato, onion, and egg mixture into the pan. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the edges are set.

  6. 6

    Flip the Tortilla

    To flip, place a large plate over the pan, invert the tortilla onto the plate, then slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once cooked, slide the tortilla onto a serving plate. Let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
