Recipe - Spanish Tortilla

• Ingredients:
• 5 medium sized potatoes
• 2 small onions
• 2-3 eggs
• salt and pepper

Preparation:

Peel, wash, and cut potatoes into thin slices. Peel, halve, and cut onions into thin slices.

Heat olive oil in a fry pan and add potatoes and onions. Fry at low heat ca. 20-30 minutes until the potates are tender.

In a bowl mix potatoes and onions with the eggs. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a well-coated fry pan and pour in the whole mixture so that it covers the entire pan like a pancake.

Fry at medium heat until the egg solidifies and the tortilla is firm.

Now for the difficult part: The Spanish tortilla must be turned over! Professionals probably accomplish this with a flick of the wrist but I recommend a different method:

Place a plate upside down on the fry pan. Remove the fry pan from the stove with your left hand, fix the plate with your right hand. Quickly flip 180°. Set the pan back on the stove and slide the omelette from the plate back into the fry pan. Fry until golden brown.

Serve the omelette on a plate and cut as you would a cake. It can be served warm or cold, as a side dish or as a main dish.
