Description
A soft and fluffy Spanish omelette made with tender potatoes, onions, and airy beaten eggs, creating a comforting traditional dish with a golden exterior and creamy center.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds or small cubes. Slice the onion into thin strips.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onions and cook slowly for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender but not crispy.
- Remove the potatoes and onions using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add milk, baking powder, salt, and black pepper, then whisk thoroughly to incorporate air.
- Gently fold the cooked potatoes and onions into the egg mixture without breaking the potatoes too much.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and spread evenly.
- Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the edges begin to set.
- Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip the omelette onto the plate.
- Slide the omelette back into the skillet and cook the other side for another 4 to 5 minutes.
- Once both sides are golden and the center is cooked to your liking, remove from heat.
- Let the omelette rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Beat the eggs thoroughly for the fluffiest texture.
- Cook potatoes slowly to keep them soft and creamy.
- Use a nonstick skillet for easier flipping.
- The omelette can be served warm or cold.
- Add cheese, peppers, spinach, or herbs for extra flavor variations.
