step by step
Before starting, it’s best to have all the ingredients ready to work comfortably.
You might wonder how to get the potatoes just right or when to flip the omelette, but don’t worry—each step has its moment. The key is to control the cooking and not rush the process.
step 01: prepare the ingredients
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly or cut into small cubes. Peel the onion and slice it finely.
step 02: Cook potatoes and onion
Heat plenty of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onion and cook slowly (without browning too much) for about 15–20 minutes, until tender.
step 03: Drain excess oil
Remove the potatoes and onion with a slotted spoon and let them drain well.
step 04: Beat the eggs
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.
step 05: Combine everything
Add the potatoes and onion to the beaten eggs. Mix well and let it rest for a few minutes so the flavors combine.
step 06: Cook the omelette (first side)
In a non-stick pan with a little oil, pour in the mixture and cook over medium heat until the base is set.
step 07: Flip the omelette
Place a plate over the pan and carefully flip the omelette.
step 08: Finish cooking
Slide it back into the pan and cook the other side until it reaches your desired doneness (runny or fully set).
step 09: Rest and serve
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. It can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature.
