Ingredients

• Olive oil
• 5 potatoes
• 5 large eggs
• 1 onion
• Salt

Preparation

1. Peel and slice the potatoes and the onion.
2. Whisk the eggs.
3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
4. Add the potatoes and onion to the pan; add salt to taste.
5. Cover the pan with a lid (optional). Stir the potatoes and onion occasionally, breaking the potatoes into smaller pieces.
6. When the potatoes are soft (after approx. 15-20 minutes), remove the potato and onion mix with a slotted spoon to drain off the excess oil and add it to the beaten eggs.
7. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in the pan on a medium heat and add the egg mixture.
8. After approx. 5-6 minutes, use a flat lid or plate to invert the tortilla. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan  and slide the tortilla back in to cook the other side for another 5-6 minutes on reduced heat.

Enjoy, or as the Spanish say: ¡Qué aproveche!
