Method
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Thinly slice the onion.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the potatoes and onion with a pinch of salt. Cook gently for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft but not browned. Drain most of the oil, leaving about 1 Tbsp in the pan.
- Beat the eggs with the remaining salt. Tip the warm potatoes and onion into the eggs and stir gently to coat.
- Return the mixture to the pan over medium heat. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the bottom is set and golden.
- Place a large plate over the pan and carefully flip the omelette onto it. Slide it back into the pan and cook the other side for 3–4 minutes.
- Turn out onto a plate and leave to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
