Ingredients

  • 6 Eggs
  • 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 120ml olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • Fresh chives for serving

Method

Heat the olive oil in a deep non-stick pan over low–medium heat. Add the potatoes and onion with a generous pinch of salt and confit them gently until soft and translucent — no browning. Drain reserving 2 tbsp of the oil.

Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Combine with the potatoes and onions and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes. Return the reserved oil to the pan, pour in the mixture and cook on low heat until the underside is golden.

Cover the pan with a flat plate, flip the tortilla onto it, and slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for 2–3 minutes. Slide onto a plate, sprinkle with chives, and slice into wedges.
