Ingredients:
3 medium Potatoes
Onion, thinly sliced
6 large eggs
1½ cups (360ml) Extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Peel the potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise, then cut in half again while the flat side on the cutting surface. Slices potatoes into thin slices.
2. Add olive oil to a 9-inch (23cm) skillet, heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add sliced potatoes and fry for 2-3 minutes, then add sliced onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Do not overcook.
3. Drain the potatoes and reserve the oil. Let cool slightly.
4. In a large bowl beat the eggs with salt. Add potato and onion and toss to coat. Let mixture sit for about 20 minutes.
5. In the same pan where you fried the potatoes, pour back 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil and heat. Pour potato mixture into the pan, cook on medium heat for 6-8 minutes. When the bottom is cook, flip the tortilla, using a big plate, and slide it back to the pan. Run a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon along the outer edges of the tortilla. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the omelette is set but still a bit runny on the middle.
6. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve.

Notes:
• Perfect potato to egg ratio: 2 eggs per 300 grams potatoes.
• It may seem like a lot of oil, but you don’t really consume all that oil. You can reserve the oil and use it again.

Un consejo, al cuajar la tortilla no hacerlo con tanto aceite, no hace falta y no lo necesita ..
Para darle un extra de sabor añadir ajo picado, así lo hacía mi madre y supe que un gran cocinero español Martín Berasategui también

A family member has a cooking channel too, and the videos are good quality, but the music stays the same. YOU have Spanish music and I LOVE it! So smart and gives me more vibes on cooking the dish!

As a girl who was born in Spain, raised in Spain and mother’s side of the family is spanish, I approve this recipe. Recently my grandfather (spanish) made this on Easter Day and let me tell you, 👏🏼IT👏🏼WAS👏🏼A👏🏼BOMB👏🏼. So freaking good and yes, he put onion

Spanish sub here too. It looks really good!!! I love the moisture you gave it, making it runny. I don’t let the potatoes and onion sit in the egg tho, I do it straight away! It’s a really good idea to “flavour” the eggs. Thanks for the tip!!! Great vid, as always.

As a Spanish person, I approve this tortilla😂 But some people are gonna be mad about that onion because there has been a debate whether onion belongs to a tortilla or not, I personally like it with onion!

I had this dish once at a Spanish owned resort in Cuba! They had also flown in an excellent Spanish ham! The Spanish omelet has stuck in the back of my mind ever since, it was so delicious, truly better than the sum of its parts! Now thanks to the cooking foodie we can make it ourselves!!!

To undercooked for me personally. I would cook it at a lower temperature for longer.

This is turning into a 2 hour meal, I'm not waiting that long for breakfast. This has got to be a dinner thing.

came out great for m, thx! one question, though: why let the mixture sit for 20mins? how will putting it back to the pan immediately affect the omlette?

As I know, extra virgin olive oil is not for cooking. If you heat the oil, it won't be good for your health anymore. It's only for dressing not for cooking. But you can use Virgin olive oil or Olive oil for cooking.
