Spanish omelette
Ingredients
- 275g small Desiree potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 5 large free-range eggs
- Salt and pepper
Steps
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, rub with a clean tea towel to dry them.
- In a pan add the olive oil then cook the potatoes and onions tossing to coat with oil.
- Turn the heat to its lowest setting, add salt and pepper, cover the frying pan and cook for 20 minutes, or until tender.
- Turn them over halfway through and shake the pan occasionally, they are not supposed to brown very much but just gently stew.
- Break the eggs into a large bowl and, using a fork, whisk them lightly. Season.
- Tip the onions and potatoes into the egg bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Put the frying pan back on the heat and add some oil. Pour the mixture into the frying pan and cook on the lowest setting for 20 - 25 mins.
- When there is virtually no liquid egg left on the surface turn it over. Place a plate over the pan, carefully invert both so that the omelette is on the lid or plate. Cook for another two minutes.
