Ingredients:

¼ cup olive oil

400g potatoes, thinly sliced

1 large onion chopped in half and sliced

4 eggs

Salt and pepper

Method:

Pour the olive oil in a large frying pan and place on a medium heat. Add the potatoes and onion, before seasoning with a dash salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, before lowering the heat and letting the mixture cook slowly for 25 minutes. Continue to check and stir the mixture as time passes.

Whilst the mixture is cooking, whisk the eggs in a large jug. Add salt and pepper to the jug. Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, carefully remove them from the frying pan and into the jug of eggs. Leave the mixture to stand for 10 minutes, giving time for the flavours to melt together.

Using a smaller frying pan, heat some more olive oil under a medium heat. Once melted, add the mixture to this frying pan. Let the omelette cook for around 8 minutes, continuing to run a spatula around the edges of the mixture, shaping the omelette.

Slide the omelette onto a clean plate, then immediately turn the pan over and hold it over the omelette. Flip the plate and pan over together so that the omelette lands back in the pan, and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes, on a lower temperature, edging it with the spatula.

Once cooked, slide the omelette onto a plate or cutting board, and cut into slices to

serve. Good side options for a Spanish omelette include salad or crusty bread.
