Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium Potatoes
  • 1 large Onions
  • 6 large Eggs
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons Milk

Instructions
 

  • Start by peeling and slicing the potatoes into thin rounds.
  • In a frying pan, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat.
    3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Add the sliced onions to the pan and fry them until they are softened and slightly golden.
    1 large Onions
  • Once the onions are cooked, add the sliced potatoes to the pan and cook them until they are tender and lightly browned.
    4 medium Potatoes
  • While the potatoes and onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the beaten eggs. You can also add a splash of milk for extra creaminess.
    6 large Eggs, 1 teaspoon Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Pepper, 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg, 2 tablespoons Milk
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer them and the onions to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Mix everything together until well-combined.
  • Return the mixture to the frying pan and cook over low heat. Use a spatula to draw the edges of the mixture into the center, allowing the uncooked egg mixture to flow to the edges.
  • Cook the tortilla until the egg is set but still slightly runny on top.
  • To finish cooking the tortilla, you have two options: either flip it in the pan and cook the other side, or place it under a hot grill to brown the top.
  • Once the tortilla is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
  • Cut the tortilla into wedges and serve it warm or at room temperature.
