Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 6 large Eggs
- 100 ml Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices or small cubes, about 2-3 mm thick.
Step 2
Peel and finely slice the onion.
Step 3
In a large non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the sliced potatoes and onions to the pan, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft but not browned.
Step 5
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked potatoes and onions from the oil and transfer them to a large bowl. Let them cool slightly.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the salt until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the beaten eggs over the cooled potatoes and onions, gently stirring to coat everything evenly.
Step 8
Heat a little of the reserved olive oil in a clean non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.
Step 9
Pour the potato, onion, and egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and the top begins to set.
Step 10
Carefully place a large plate over the pan and flip the tortilla onto the plate. Slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes, until golden and fully set.
Step 11
Remove the tortilla from the pan and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
