Ingredients

• About 500g potato
• About 200g onion
• 6 large eggs
• 1 tsp salt

Directions

1. Peel the potatoes and slice very thinly. Place the sliced potatoes in water until you’re ready to use them.

2. Slice the onions thinly.

3. Heat some olive oil in a pan.

4. Add the onions, stir and fry over a medium heat for about 5 minutes until they start to get soft.

5. Drain the potatoes, pat them dry and add to the onions.

6. Lower the heat, then stir and fry for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, adding some more olive oil if the mixture is sticking. Once the potatoes begin to soften a little (after about 10 minutes), you can start to break up the slices as you stir.

7. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the salt and the cooked onion and potato mixture to the bowl. Stir to mix. The heat of the cooked mixture will start to cook the eggs.

8. Now put some more olive oil into the pan and pour in the egg mixture.

9. Cook over a medium heat for about 7 minutes or until the tortilla appears fairly solid right through and there is little or no liquid egg on the surface of the tortilla.

10. At this point, if you’re feeling confident, you can cook the other side of the tortilla by placing the plate on top of the pan, turning the plate and pan over, and then sliding the tortilla gently back into the pan for 3-4 minutes. Alternatively, you can place the pan until the grill for 5-6 minutes to finish cooking the top that way and then turn it onto the plate when ready.
