Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 2 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted olive oil
• 1 small Onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 2

Finely dice the onion and chop the parsley.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced potatoes and onions to the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are tender but not browned.

Step 5

While the potatoes cook, crack the eggs into a large bowl and beat them until well combined. Stir in the chopped parsley and ground black pepper.

Step 6

Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, remove them from the skillet using a slotted spoon and transfer them to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Stir gently to coat the potatoes and onions in the egg mixture.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Pour the egg and potato mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown.

Step 9

Use a large plate to carefully flip the tortilla. Place the plate on top of the skillet, invert the skillet, and slide the tortilla back into the pan, uncooked side down.

Step 10

Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the tortilla is fully set and cooked through.

Step 11

Slide the finished tortilla onto a plate and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
