Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 units Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley for garnish(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the sliced potatoes and onions to the oil, ensuring they are mostly submerged; cook slowly for 15-20 minutes until tender but not browned.

  3. 3

    Drain the potatoes and onions through a colander, reserving 2 tablespoons of the oil.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper, then gently fold in the warm potato and onion mixture; let sit for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Wipe the skillet clean and add the reserved oil over medium-high heat.

  6. 6

    Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly; cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are set.

  7. 7

    Place a large flat plate over the skillet, quickly invert the tortilla onto the plate, and slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for 2 more minutes.

  8. 8

    Transfer to a serving plate and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing into wedges.
