Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and thinly slice the potatoes; thinly slice the onion.

  2. 2

    Heat 70 g of the olive oil in a 24 cm non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add the potatoes and onion.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook, turning occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until tender but not browned. Sprinkle with half the salt.

  4. 4

    Beat the eggs with the remaining salt in a large bowl. Lift the potatoes and onion into the eggs with a slotted spoon, stir and leave for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Wipe the pan, heat the remaining 10 g oil over medium heat, pour in the mixture and cook for 5-6 minutes, tidying the edges.

  6. 6

    Place a flat plate over the pan, flip the omelette onto it and slide it back into the pan.

  7. 7

    Cook the second side for 3-4 minutes, keeping the centre slightly soft. Rest 5 minutes, then cut into wedges.
