Ingredients

  • large onion halved thinly sliced
  • tbsp olive oil 
  • 800 potato peeled thinly sliced
  • large eggs 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • baking pan
  • grill

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
  2. Using a large frying pan, soften the onions with 1 tbsp olive oil and some seasoning. Cook over a low heat for 20 mins or until golden and caramelised.
  3. Place the potato slices, 3 tbsp olive oil and seasoning onto a large baking tray or 2 small ones and toss them around.
  4. Bake for 15 mins until potatoes are soft, but not brown.
  5. Mix the eggs in a large bowl with more seasoning. When the potatoes and onions are done, toss them in and mix well.
  6. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to a 20cm frying pan, warm it and pour in the egg mixture. Allow to cook slowly over a low heat for 20-25 mins.
  7. When nearly all the liquid egg is gone, you will need to flip it over.
  8. Place a plate on top of the pan and invert the tortilla, holding the plate firmly while doing so. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and cook for another 3-4 mins. Alternatively, if you arent too confident about flipping and your pan is ovenproof, place the pan under the grill for a few mins until the top is done.
  9. Serve cut into wedges, warm or at room temperature.
