You deserve a comforting and cheesy take on a classic Spanish dish that pairs perfectly with a glass of wine!

1

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly to ensure even cooking. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and then pat them dry.

2

Heat 30 milliliters of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook them for about 15 minutes, gently stirring occasionally until they are soft but not browned.

3

While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion. Add the onion to the pan with the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

4

In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the salt and pepper until well combined.

5

Once the potatoes and onion are cooked, drain any excess oil from the pan, and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Then mix them into the bowl with the whisked eggs. Stir in the shredded cheese at this point.

6

Wipe the pan clean and heat an additional 20 milliliters of olive oil over medium heat. Pour the potato-egg mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly.

7

Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is set and lightly browned. Use a large plate to flip the tortilla: slide it onto the plate, then invert it back into the pan to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes.

8

Once both sides are golden brown and the center is just set, transfer the tortilla to a plate. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.
