Delicious Potato Tortilla Recipe - A Mediterranean Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 4 large potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
  • 6 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup olive oil (for frying)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon pepper (to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the ingredients

    Peel and thinly slice the potatoes and onion.

    Using a mandoline can help achieve uniform slices.
  2. Cook the potatoes and onion

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add potatoes and onion, and cook until soft, about 15 minutes.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix with eggs

    In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Once potatoes and onions are cooked, drain excess oil and mix them into the eggs.

    Let the mixture cool slightly before combining.
  4. Cook the tortilla

    Wipe the skillet clean and add a little olive oil. Pour the potato-egg mixture back into the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes until set.

    You can cover the skillet to help set the top.
  5. Flip the tortilla

    Carefully slide the tortilla onto a plate, then invert it back into the skillet to cook the other side for another 5 minutes.

    Use a large plate for easier flipping.
  6. Serve

    Once both sides are golden brown and cooked through, slide the tortilla onto a serving platter and let it cool slightly before slicing.

    Best served warm or at room temperature.
