Ingredients
- 500 g Potatoes
- 150 g Onion
- 400 g Eggs
- 150 ml Olive Oil
- 8 g Salt
- 2 g Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- 1. Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin half-moons (approx. 2-3 mm thick). Peel the onion and slice it into thin strips as well.
- 2. Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onions and simmer over low heat for approx. 20 minutes until tender, but not brown.
- 3. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Strain the potato-onion mixture (save the oil) and stir it into the eggs.
- 4. Add a spoonful of the reserved oil to the same pan. Add the egg mixture and cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and set.
- 5. Place a large, flat plate over the pan. Hold the plate and pan firmly together and invert the tortilla onto the plate. Slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook the other side (approx. 2 minutes).
- 6. Remove the tortilla from the pan, let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut it into cubes or triangles. Serve warm or at room temperature.
