Quick Spanish Tortilla (Tortilla de Patatas Rápida)

  • Pre-cooked Potatoes (or very thinly sliced raw)400g
  • Yellow Onion1 medium
  • Eggs5 large
  • Olive Oil50ml
  • Saltto taste
  • Black Pepperto taste

Steps

  1. 1

    If using raw potatoes, peel and slice them very thinly (2mm). Finely chop the onion.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the very thinly sliced potatoes and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender and lightly golden (about 8-10 minutes). If using pre-cooked potatoes, simply warm them through with the onion.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Add the cooked potato and onion mixture and mix gently.

  4. 4

    Wipe the pan clean and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Pour the mixture into the pan, spreading evenly. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the bottom is set.

  5. 5

    Invert the tortilla onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan. Cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Slide onto a serving plate and let rest before cutting.
