Directions

Step

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onions, and cook gently until the potatoes are tender and slightly golden. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. This process will take about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step

In a large bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a fork. Add a pinch of salt and mix well.

Step

Add the cooked potatoes and onions to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Gently fold the mixture together until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step

Place the frying pan back on the heat and add a little more olive oil if needed. Pour the potato and egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step

Cook the tortilla over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly runny.

Step

Carefully flip the tortilla using a flat plate or a lid that is larger than the frying pan. Slide the tortilla back into the pan, uncooked side down.

Step

Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the tortilla is golden brown on both sides.

Step

Once cooked, remove the tortilla from the pan and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it into wedges or squares.

Step

Once cooked, remove the tortilla from the pan and let it cool for a few minutes.

Tips for this recipe

For a variation, you can add chopped cooked ham or chorizo to the potato and onion mixture before folding in the eggs. This will give your tortilla an extra burst of flavor. Additionally, make sure to use a non-stick frying pan to ensure that the tortilla doesn’t stick while flipping.
