Description

Spanish potatoe omelette ()

Ingredients

  • 5/6 small potatoes
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 large white onion
  • 2 tbs mayo
  • bit of salt
  • Olive oil

Preparation

  1. Boil the potatoes until soft
  2. whisk up the 4 eggs and add some salt to them, about the same amount as you would add to your regular eggs
  3. mash up the potatoes but leave them a little bit chunky, we don’t want them fully mashed
  4. Dice up the onion
  5. throw it all together into a bowl with 2 tbs of mayo
  6. put some olive oil in a pan and at low heat, put the mix in the pan with a cover on top for about 15 min
  7. once the top side has become solid enough, take a plate, put it on top of the pan and flip the pan to put the tortilla on the plate. Then put a little bit of oil again and slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook the other side as well for another 5 min or so at medium heat

Tips

Whisking up the eggs and adding the salt in advance makes the eggs extra fluffy because the salt has time to settle into the eggs
