Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 10 eggs
- 6 potatoes (big)
- 1 onion (optional)
- Salt
Preparation:
- Peel the potatoes, wash them, and slice them into not-too-thin rounds. You can use a mandoline if easier. Make sure to dry them well to remove any starch.
- Fry the potatoes in plenty of olive oil until they resemble fried potatoes. Drain and set aside.
- Beat the eggs and season with salt. Mix the still-warm potatoes with the eggs. The amount of egg to use depends on the volume of potatoes, as not all potatoes are the same size. 6 big potatoes, 10 eggs. You can also do 5 regular size potatoes – 6 eggs. (At least 1 more egg than potatoes)
- Let the mixture rest so that the potatoes absorb some of the eggs.
- Heat a pan with a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Pour the egg and potato mixture into the pan and let it set.
- Add the onion if you like. Use a plate to flip the tortilla and wait for it to cook on the other side.
- The doneness of the tortilla depends on your preference. For a more well-done tortilla, cook over low heat for a longer time; for a less well-done tortilla, cook over higher heat for a shorter time.
ENJOY!
