Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Skim milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 2
Thinly slice the onion.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the potato slices and onion to the skillet and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes and onions are soft and lightly golden. Avoid browning them too much.
Step 5
While the potatoes and onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a large bowl, add skim milk, salt, and pepper, and beat together until well mixed.
Step 6
Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, drain any excess oil and gently add them to the egg mixture, stirring to combine.
Step 7
Wipe the skillet clean and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 8
Pour the egg, potato, and onion mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Step 9
Cook the tortilla over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Step 10
Carefully slide the tortilla onto a large plate. Place the skillet on top of the plate and, holding them firmly together, flip the tortilla back into the skillet to cook the other side.
Step 11
Cook for another 5 minutes until the tortilla is set and lightly golden on both sides.
Step 12
Transfer the tortilla to a serving dish and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Step 13
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
