Ingredients
- 1 whole Onion
- 3 cups Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 whole Potatoes
- 5 whole Eggs
Preparation
1. Chop the onion and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes in a large non-stick frying pan with the 3 cups olive oil and a pinch of salt.
2. Peel the potatoes and slice them quite thick, you can even use the potato peeler to slice the potatoes.
3. Add the sliced potatoes and another pinch of salt to the frying pan and cook over low-medium heat for 20-25 minutes. Try to stir and flip the potatoes every 2-3 minutes. The potatoes are done after starting to brown and when almost mashed.
4. Remove the vegetables from the pan with a spatula and drain and reserve the remaining oil.
5. Crack the 5 or 6 eggs into a medium or large mixing bowl and whisk with a fork.
6. Mix the mashed mixture with the whisked eggs in the mixing bowl. Mix it for 2-3 minutes. This step is the key to get a juicy Spanish omelette.
7. Place 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil into a medium size non-stick frying pan and heat over medium heat. Add the mashed mixture and cook over low-medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Shake the frying pan every 30-45 seconds to move the mixture around.
8. Flip the Spanish omelette over. I do this with a big plate. Make sure the plate covers completely the frying pan and invert the pan onto the plate. Then slide the omelette back into the pan.
9. Cook the omelette for 2 more minutes.
10. The Tortilla Espanola is ready! Slide to a plate, serve and enjoy!
