Ingredients
- 2 medium, peeled and thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes
- 1, thinly sliced Yellow onion
- 6 large Eggs
- 1/3 cup Olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley(optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced potatoes and onion with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and lightly golden, about 12-15 minutes. Do not brown too aggressively.
- 2
While the potatoes cook, whisk the eggs in a large bowl with salt and pepper until well combined.
- 3
Drain the potatoes and onions, reserving the oil, and gently fold them into the whisked eggs. Let sit 2-3 minutes.
- 4
Wipe out the skillet, add 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil, and heat over medium. Pour in the egg-potato mixture and cook 3-4 minutes until the edges set.
- 5
Place a large plate over the skillet, carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate, then slide it back into the pan to cook the other side, 3-4 minutes more, until just set in the center.
- 6
Slide onto a plate, rest 5 minutes, slice into wedges, and garnish with parsley if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.
