Spanish Omelet
Ingredients
* 1lb/450g waxy potatoes
* 1 large white/Spanish onion (optional)
* About 1 liter of oil - Olive oil is best
* 6 eggs
* pinch salt
Recipe
1.Peel and slice potatoes. The slices should be quite thin.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil on a low heat in a large sauté pan
3. Add the potatoes to the sauté pan, and fry until soft and cookedthrough, but not browned. This can take quite a while - don't rush it. It is a good idea to keep the pan covered - that way the steam from the potatoes at the bottom of the pan helps cook the ones at thetop.
4. Slice the onion thinly. Fry it lightly in frying pan, stirring frequently for a few minutes or until sweet. Or you can simply add them to the potatoes for the last five minutes ofcooking.
5. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add salt
6. Add the hot cooked potatoes and onion to the egg in the bowl, gently mix the potatoes and onion into the egg and leave it for fiveminutes. This starts the egg cooking and helps cover the potato slices in egg so it all sticks together nicely.
7. Drain oil, and reserve oil for another time.
8. Pour the potatoes, onion and eggmix back into the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes on a low heat. Keep the pan moving so the mix doesn't stick to the pan. A non-stick pan makes this much easier.
9. When the edge of the tortillalooks cooked place a large, flat plate over the pan (like a lid), put one hand on the plate to hold it in place and turn the whole thing over (the first few times you do this it is best do this overthe sink - can be very messy)
10. You should now have an up-side-down omelette on your plate - cooked on top - raw underneath. Check the pan is clean and scrape any bits that have stuck in thepan off and add a bit of oil if it is looking dry. Now slide the omelette back into the pan to cook the bottom.
11. Cook for another few minutes,
12. Repeat the turning trick a couple of...
