This Spanish dish is made from eggs and potatoes. Some add onion or some more ingredients such as chorizo, tuna or vegetables. You can enjoy it hot or cold as a starter, main dish or cut into bite size pieces and served as tapas or at a picnic.
It is a pretty simple recipe and when served with bread and salad it is a great option for lunch or dinner!
In Spanish recipes the potatoes are cooked right in the pan, but to save some time I parboil them first.
Ingredients
- 600g Potatoes
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 Medium Onion
- Pinch of Salt to taste
- 5 Table Spoons Olive Oil
- Optional:
- A Few Sprigs of Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley
Directions
- Take a medium sauce pan, add water, salt and bring it to the boil.
- Wash, peel and cut the potatoes (cut into slices or dice). Add to the water and parboil them for 5-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile:
- Peel and dice the onion. Heat up 2 table spoons of olive oil in a frying pan (bottom of the pan should be about 20cm in diameter) and add the onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Now drain the potatoes (make sure you don’t overcook them – they should be cooked partially only to speed up the process) and add them to the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes, mixing (or tossing) occasionally.
- Meanwhile:
- Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a fork. Add a pinch of salt and finely chopped parsley.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, add some more oil, pour over the beaten eggs and reduce the heat to the lowest temperature.
- Cook slowly until the omelette is set. Now it is time to turn it over. For this, use a plate (cover the pan with the plate, holding both turn the pan over. Transfer the omelette back onto the pan) add some more olive oil and cook for a further 3-5 minutes.
- Serve with a slice of bread and salad.
