Ingredients

• 6 pieces Eggs
• 2 medium-sized Potatoes
• 1 large Onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices or small dice. Thinly slice the onion.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn golden.

Step 3

Add the sliced onion to the skillet with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and the potatoes are tender. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, pour in the whisked eggs, then evenly distribute the potato and onion mixture over the eggs.

Step 6

Cook the omelette for 5-7 minutes, until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown. If the top is still runny, carefully place a lid over the skillet for 2-3 minutes to help it cook through.

Step 7

Once fully cooked, gently slide the omelette onto a large plate, folding it in half if desired. Alternatively, you can serve it flat like a Spanish tortilla.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Slice into portions and serve warm.
