Ingredients

• 500 grams potatoes
• 1 large onions
• 6 eggs
• 100 milliliters olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, even slices.

Step 2

Finely slice the onion.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced potatoes and onions to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat everything evenly with olive oil.

Step 5

Cook on medium-low heat until the potatoes are tender but not browned, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.

Step 6

While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk them until well beaten.

Step 7

Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, drain off the excess oil and let them cool slightly.

Step 8

Add the slightly cooled potato-onion mixture to the beaten eggs and mix well to combine.

Step 9

Heat a little bit of the reserved olive oil in a clean, non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 10

Pour the potato-onion-egg mixture into the skillet and spread it evenly.

Step 11

Cook on one side until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 12

Carefully flip the tortilla using a large plate or lid and cook the other side until it is fully set, another 5-7 minutes.

Step 13

Once cooked, transfer the tortilla onto a serving plate, let it cool slightly, and slice it into wedges.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature.
