How to Make Tortilla Of Potato And Onions

  1. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes and onions. Aim for even thickness for even cooking.
  2. In a large non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the potatoes and onions to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden brown (approximately 20-25 minutes).
  4. Remove the potatoes and onions from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with salt and pepper.
  6. Add the cooked potatoes and onions to the whisked eggs and gently mix.
  7. Pour the egg and potato mixture into the same skillet. Cook over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
  8. Carefully flip the tortilla using a large plate or spatula. This is easier with a wider pan. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the other side is set and golden brown.
  9. Remove from the pan and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature as a tapas or light dinner.
