instructions
    1

    Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes, then thinly slice the onion.

    2

    In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the potatoes and onions. Season with salt and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden.

    3

    While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat them well. Season with pepper and a bit more salt if desired.

    4

    Once the potatoes and onions are ready, drain any excess oil and let them cool slightly before mixing them into the beaten eggs. Stir to combine thoroughly.

    5

    Wipe the frying pan clean and add a little more olive oil. Heat it over medium heat, then pour in the potato, onion, and egg mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is set.

    6

    Using a large plate, carefully flip the tortilla over to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the center is cooked through.

    7

    Once done, let the tortilla cool for a few minutes. Serve slices warm or at room temperature accompanied by the yogurt on the side.

How to be creative
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a burst of color and flavor.
  • Incorporate vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for an extra layer of taste and nutrition.
  • Garnish the tortilla with a drizzle of flavored olive oil or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Important Tips
  • Make sure the potatoes are not overcrowded in the pan while frying to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Let the tortilla rest for a few minutes before cutting to help it set better and make slicing easier.
  • Experiment with different types of yogurt, like Greek yogurt, for a thicker texture.
