How to Make Spanish Potato Omelet Tortilla De Patatas

  1. Peel and thinly slice 1kg potatoes and 1 large onion.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 cup olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the potatoes and onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown (about 20-25 minutes).
  4. Remove the potatoes and onions from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Add the cooked potatoes and onions to the egg mixture and stir gently to combine.
  7. Pour the egg and potato mixture into a non-stick skillet (about 10 inches) that has been lightly oiled with olive oil over medium heat.
  8. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the edges begin to set.
  9. Place a large plate over the skillet. Flip the tortilla onto the plate and carefully slide it back into the skillet.
  10. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Remove the tortilla from the skillet and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
