This Spanish Omelette is my kid’s favourite. It’s a fun breakfast that anyone can make using only a few simple ingredients. No, this is not your usual omelette, it’s better with potato stacked layers through the egg!

INGREDIENTS

6 Eggs
1/2-1 c. olive oil
1 lb potatoes such as Yukon Gold, peeled, sliced 1/4-inch thin
1 large onion sliced
1 tbsp chives chopped, for garnish
1/2 tsp salt or to taste
1/2 tsp pepper or to taste

HOW TO MAKE A SPANISH OMELETTE OR TORTILLA

Step 1: In a large bowl, place the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Whisk well and set aside.

Step 2: In a 10 to 12-inches (in diameter) non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes to the skillet and fry until tender and golden brown. To the egg bowl, transfer the potatoes when done.

Step 3: To the same skillet, add the onion and fry for about 3 to 5 minutes until golden. To the same bowl as the eggs and potatoes, transfer the onion and drain the oil, leaving only a couple of tbsp in the skillet. Stir the potatoes gently with the onion and eggs.

Step 4: Into the skillet, pour the egg mixture and adjust the heat to low. Even out the surface using a spatula. Put the lid on and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the edges are set. With the same spatula, loosen the edges.

Step 5: Over the omelette, place a large plate and carefully flip the pan in one swift motion to transfer the omelette to the plate.

Step 6: Into the skillet, slide the omelette back, cooked side facing upwards. Continue to cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 7: Before serving, garnish the omelette with chives. Enjoy right away!

NOTE:

You can store the cooled-down omelette in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
