How to Make Spanish Omelette With Sweet Onions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy-based 10-inch frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  3. While the onions cook, peel and cut 2 large potatoes into 1/4-inch thick matchsticks.
  4. Add the potatoes to the pan and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and lightly golden, stirring occasionally.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and onions, tilting the pan to distribute evenly. Cook over very low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly browned.
  8. Carefully place a large plate over the pan and invert the tortilla onto the plate. Gently slide the tortilla back into the pan, uncooked side down.
  9. Cook for another 5-7 minutes over low heat, until the other side is golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a simple salad!
