Authentic Spanish Omelette Recipe (Tortilla Española)

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 0.5 pound potatoes, thinly sliced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 4 large eggs
• 2 medium tomatoes - peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped
• 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10-14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Incorporate sliced onions and continue to cook for 6-8 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and season with salt and pepper.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, gently stirring to combine with the potatoes and onions. Reduce heat to low and cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the bottom to begin browning.
5. Use a spatula to carefully loosen the omelette from the pan. Place a large plate over the skillet, and carefully flip the omelette onto the plate. Gently slide the omelette back into the skillet, uncooked-side down. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.
6. Serve the Spanish omelette warm. Garnish with fresh tomato slices and chopped green onion for added flavor.
