Spanish Style Potato Omelet
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- Salt
- 6 large eggs
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes and Onions:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an 8- or 9-inch skillet over medium heat.
- Add the potatoes and onions in alternating layers, seasoning each layer with salt.
- Cook, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned, for about 20 minutes.
- Drain in a colander and set aside.
- Reserve 2 teaspoons of the oil and wipe the skillet clean.
Prepare the Omelet Mixture:
- In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.
- Add the cooked potatoes and onions, ensuring they are well coated.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cook the Omelet:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of reserved oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
- Pour the egg and potato mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly.
- Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook, occasionally shaking the skillet to prevent sticking, until the bottom begins to brown.
Flip and Finish Cooking:
- Place a plate larger than the skillet over the top.
- Flip the skillet to transfer the omelet to the plate.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat.
- Slide the omelet back into the skillet to cook the other side, shaking occasionally, until set in the center but still slightly moist inside.
Serve:
- Once cooked to your liking, slide the omelet onto a serving plate.
- Cut it into wedges and serve either warm or at room temperature.
