Ingredients

• 500 grams Turnips
• 6 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the turnips into thin discs, about 1/8 inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices, if possible.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onion into half-moon shapes.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and turnips to the pan.

Step 4

Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using), then sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turnips are tender.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until fully beaten. Add the cooked turnip and onion mixture to the eggs and stir well to combine. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Wipe the frying pan clean and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium-low heat.

Step 7

Pour the egg and vegetable mixture back into the frying pan, spreading it out evenly. Cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is mostly cooked.

Step 8

To flip the tortilla, carefully slide it out onto a large plate. Place the frying pan upside down over the plate, then flip both together to return the tortilla to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through.

Step 9

Slide the finished tortilla de patata onto a serving plate and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
