Spanish Omelet

Servings:

  • Makes 2-3 servings

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 medium potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 1 small onion (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp paprika (optional for extra flavor)
  • Chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
    • Add the potato slices and cook them gently, turning occasionally, until they are tender and lightly golden (about 10 minutes).
    • Remove the potatoes from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
  2. Sauté the Onion:

    • In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the onion slices until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
    • Once the onions are cooked, add the cooked potatoes back into the pan, and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Make the Egg Mixture:

    • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
    • Pour the beaten eggs over the potatoes and onions, making sure they are evenly distributed.
  4. Cook the Omelet:

    • Reduce the heat to low and cook the omelet slowly for about 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the top is still a little runny.
    • To ensure even cooking, you can tilt the pan to let the uncooked egg mixture flow to the edges.
  5. Flip the Omelet:

    • Once the omelet is mostly set, place a large plate over the pan, then carefully flip the omelet onto the plate.
    • Slide the omelet back into the pan to cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve:

    • Remove the omelet from the pan and let it cool slightly.
    • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and cut into wedges.
    • Serve warm with a side of salad or crusty bread.
