Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes and Onion

    Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Slice the onion thinly as well.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes and Onion

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

  3. 3

    Beat the Eggs

    While the potatoes and onion are cooking, crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add black pepper and whisk until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the potatoes and onion are cooked, drain excess oil if necessary, and add them to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Cook the Tortilla

    Wipe the skillet clean, then add a little more olive oil and heat over medium heat. Pour the egg and potato mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the edges start to set.

  6. 6

    Flip the Tortilla

    To flip the tortilla, place a large plate over the skillet and carefully invert the tortilla onto the plate. Slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until set and golden.

  7. 7

    Serve

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