Spanish omelette

Thick omelette filled with typically Spanish potatoes, historically considered a "poor man's dish" in contrast to a plain omelette. It is most often eaten as a main course, accompanied by a salad. A good potato omelette should be slightly runny, not dry at all, with the potatoes fried in olive oil and crispy.

Instructions

  • 1.   Peel and slice the potatoes into approximately 1/2 cm thick rounds.
  • 2.   Peel the onion and cut it into small pieces.
  • 3.   Heat the oil in the pan.
  • 4.   Put the potatoes and onions in the pan. Cover. (Important: the potatoes need to cook both in the oil and in the steam).
  • 5.   Once the potatoes are well cooked (a knife should easily go through them), pour the oil into a container.
  • 6.   Pour the potatoes and onions into a bowl.
  • 7.   Add the beaten, salted, and peppered eggs.
  • 8.   Gently mix (do not make mashed potatoes!) Add a little oil back into the pan and pour the mixture into it.
  • 9.   Cook on low heat on one side of the tortilla.
  • 10.   Once the bottom is nicely golden, flip the tortilla onto a plate. (This step is delicate because the eggs on top are not cooked and the oil in the bottom is very hot).
  • 11.   Slide the tortilla back into the pan to brown the other side.
  • 12.   Once both sides are golden, slide the tortilla onto a plate.
