Ingredients for Spanish Tortilla

• 5 large eggs
• 3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup olive oil (for frying)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and onions, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cook gently until tender but not browned (about 15 minutes).
2. Drain the potatoes and onions through a colander, reserving a tablespoon of the olive oil.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs generously with a good pinch of salt and black pepper.
4. Gently fold the warm drained potatoes and onions into the whisked eggs. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to absorb.
5. Heat the reserved tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg and potato mixture, smoothing the top.
6. Cook for 5 minutes until the bottom is golden. Place a flat plate over the skillet, carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate, and slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for 3-4 minutes.
7. Transfer to a plate, slice into wedges, garnish with fresh parsley and sea salt, and serve warm or at room temperature.
