Classic Spanish Tortilla

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly. Peel and slice the onion as well.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the sliced potatoes and onion to the pan. Cook them slowly, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the onion is translucent, about 15-20 minutes.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, drain them from the oil and add them to the beaten eggs. Mix well.

6. 6

   Wipe the frying pan clean and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium heat.

7. 7

   Pour the egg, potato, and onion mixture into the pan. Cook on one side until the edges start to set, about 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Carefully flip the tortilla using a large plate to help. Cook the other side until fully set and lightly browned, about 5 more minutes.

9. 9

   Slide the tortilla onto a serving plate, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve.
