Tortilla Española
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 cup of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the thinly sliced potatoes and onions to the skillet, and cook until they are tender but not browned, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked potatoes and onions to a large bowl, allowing the excess oil to drain back into the skillet.
- In a separate bowl, beat 6 eggs and season with salt to taste.
- Add the cooked potatoes and onions to the beaten eggs, and gently mix to combine.
- In the same skillet used to cook the potatoes and onions, heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved olive oil over medium heat.
- Pour the potato and egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Cook the tortilla for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown.
- Using a large plate, carefully flip the tortilla and slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tortilla is cooked through and golden brown.
- Transfer the tortilla to a serving plate and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
