Tortilla de Patatas

With only just a few basic ingredients required, this is delicious as part of a shared meal with olives, cured meats etc but we also love it sliced thinly in sandwiches.

Tortilla de Patatas

Serves 8

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup olive oil
2 onions, very thinly sliced
6 sebago or similar potatoes, peeled, halved and partially boiled
8 eggs
sea salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

Heat in the oil in a non stick medium sized deep frypan (with a lid).

Sauté the onions on a gentle heat for 15 - 20 mins until soft and caramelised. Scoop out the onion with a slotted spoon, leaving the oil in the pan.

Slice the partially cooked potatoes thinly. Whisk the eggs and season generously with salt and pepper. Stir through the onions and potatoes and pour back into the fry pan and put the lid on. The trick with tortilla is to cook it low and slow. Allow about 30 - 40 minutes on the lowest heat. When cooked it will be fully set on top and deeply golden on the bottom. Carefully flip out on a plate and enjoy.
