Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs
  • 400 g waxy potatoes
  • 1 yellow onion

Seasoning & Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 pinch of black pepper

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

  • Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then lightly beat them with a fork.
  • Peel the potatoes, rinse them under cold water, and slice them into thin rounds using a mandoline.
  • Peel and finely slice the onion.

Step 2: Cook the potatoes and onions

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent burning.
  • Add the sliced onions to the potatoes. Continue cooking over low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring to combine the flavors.

Step 3: Assemble the tortilla

  • Transfer the cooked potatoes and onions to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Gently mix to coat everything evenly.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet. Pour in the mixture and spread it evenly. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the bottom is nicely golden.

Step 4: Flip the tortilla

  • Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip the tortilla. Slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side for another 5 minutes.

Step 5: Finish and serve

  • Once the tortilla is cooked and golden on both sides, slide it onto a serving plate. Serve immediately or let it cool, depending on your preference.
