Rohes Material's Spanish Omelette
Craving for some delicious Spanish cuisine? Look no further than this Spanish omelette recipe! This dish, also known as "tortilla de patatas," is a classic in Spanish cooking, and it's simple, easy to make, and absolutely scrumptious.
To prepare this culinary delight, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 5 large eggs
- 1 medium-sized onion, sliced thinly
- 1 medium-sized potato, peeled and sliced into 3mm thin pieces
And here's how to put it all together:
- Heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 20cm (8-inch) non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they're soft and golden.
- Remove the onions from the skillet, set them aside, and add a bit more olive oil. Add the sliced potatoes and cook until they're tender and lightly browned. Season them with salt to taste.
- Beat 5 large eggs in a bowl, adding a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked onions back into the skillet, followed by the beaten eggs. Stir everything together until the eggs start to set around the edges.
- Allow the omelette to cook over medium heat until it's almost set, then use a spatula to gently fold the edges towards the center. Let it cook for a few more minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated grill and let it cook until it's golden brown and fully set.
- Slide the omelette out of the skillet, cut it into wedges, and enjoy!
