How to make Spanish Omelette

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into rounds of about 2 mm.
Peel and thinly slice the onion.
Heat about 60 ml of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Add the potatoes and onion with a pinch of salt and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until soft but not browned.
Drain the potato and onion well, reserving a little oil, and let them cool slightly.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl with the remaining salt, then fold in the cooled potato and onion mixture.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan over medium-low heat and pour in the egg mixture.
Cook gently for about 5 minutes until the bottom sets, then cover with a plate, flip the omelette onto it and slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes.

Serves 4 · prep 15 min · cook 25 min. Taste and adjust salt and spice to your family.
