1pound450g potatoes - peeled and thinly sliced (Yukon Gold or any preferred variety)
4large eggs - preferably organic, for richer flavor
1medium onion - thinly sliced (optional for added sweetness)
Salt to taste - 1 teaspoon recommended
Freshly ground black pepper to taste - optional
Olive oil for frying - about 1/4 cup
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced potatoes and onions (if using), and season with salt. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly golden.
While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat them well. Add salt and pepper as desired.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain excess oil and allow them to cool slightly. Gently fold the potatoes into the beaten eggs.
Wipe the skillet clean, add a little more olive oil, and heat over medium-low. Pour in the egg and potato mixture, spreading it evenly.
Cook for about 5-8 minutes until the bottom is set and golden. Use a plate to flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 5-8 minutes.
Once cooked, slide the tortilla onto a serving plate. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
