Ingredients

• 500 g potatoes
• 120 g frozen peas
• 150 g bacon
• 6 eggs
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes (approximately 1 cm). Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the potato cubes to the pan along with a pinch of salt, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, slice the bacon into small pieces. In another frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan used for the bacon, cook the frozen peas over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs with the remaining salt and black pepper. Stir in the cooked potatoes, peas, and bacon.

Step 7

Clean the original frying pan and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Cook the tortilla over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, gently shaking the pan occasionally, until the bottom is golden and the edges are set.

Step 9

Place a large plate over the pan and carefully invert the tortilla onto the plate. Slide the tortilla back into the pan with the uncooked side down and cook for another 5 minutes until fully set.

Step 10

Slide the tortilla onto a clean plate and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.
