Ingredients
for Spanish Omelette
250
g (1 lb) small waxy potatoes, peeled
1 Spanish onion or 1½ English onions
3 tbsp vegetable oil
6 eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
flat leaf parsley, to garnish
How
to make Spanish Omelette
- Cut
the potatoes into thin slices and the onions into
half rings.
- Heat
2 tbsp of the oil in a 20cm (8in) heavy-based frying
pan.
- Add
the potatoes and onions and cook over a low heat (to
prevent browning) with a lid on. Stir occasionally
and cook until the potatoes are cooked through - about
25 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- In
a large bowl, beat together the eggs.
- Stir
the sliced potatoes and onions into it, add salt and
pepper, and gently mix together.
-
Let it stand for 5 minutes so that the potatoes and
onions absorb the egg.
- Heat
the remaining oil in the frying pan and cook the mixture
very slowly until it is almost set - about 10 minutes.
- Place
a large plate upside down over the pan, invert the
tortilla on to the plate, and then slide it back into
the pan.
- Cook
for 2 - 3 minutes more.
- Invert
the tortilla again on to a plate ready for serving.
- Cut
into wedges and garnish with flat leaf parsley.
