Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Spanish Omelette.
Step 1
Begin by warming olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Introduce the thinly sliced potatoes, lightly seasoning them with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Sauté the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they achieve a delightful golden brown and crisp texture, which should take around 10 to 14 minutes.
Step 4
Next, add the sliced onion to the mix, stirring until the onions soften and start to caramelize, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, seasoning them with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Pour the seasoned eggs into the skillet, gently folding them in with the potatoes and onions.
Step 7
Lower the heat and allow the mixture to cook until the eggs begin to set and form a golden crust on the bottom, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 8
With a spatula, carefully loosen the omelette from the skillet.
Step 9
To flip it, place a large plate over the skillet and invert it, letting the omelette land on the plate.
Step 10
Slide the omelette back into the skillet, uncooked side down, and continue cooking until the eggs are fully set, which should take another 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 11
Serve the omelette warm, and for an extra touch, garnish with fresh chopped tomatoes and green onions if you like.
Step 12
Enjoy this hearty dish that brings comfort and flavor to your table!.
