spanish potato tortilla
Cuisine: Spanish
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 40 mins
Total time: 50 mins
Ingredients
  • 650g potatoes
  • 1 big onion
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of paprika
  • 5 eggs
Instructions
  1. Peel the potatoes and slice them in half. Thinly slice lengthwise, then cut in half to form half circles. Peel the onion and slice in half. Thinly slice lengthwise.
  2. Heat oil in a medium skillet on medium-high heat. Don't let the oil overheat if not the potatoes won't cook but will burn. Add the potato slices, mix with a wooden spatula to coat each slice in the oil, and let cook on medium-high heat for 5 minutes to soften. Add the onion slices, salt, pepper and paprika and mix to combine. Cook, stirring from time to time, for 20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through and golden.
  3. Drain the potatoes and onion in a colander to remove most of the oil.
  4. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add the potatoes and onion and mix to combine. Pour the mixture into the hot skillet and let it cook until golden on one side, about 5 to 7 minutes. Turn over the tortilla by placing a plate over the pan, turning the tortilla onto the plate. Return the tortilla to the pan to cook on the other side until golden, about 5 to 7 minutes more.
  5. Serve warm or at room temperature.
