Directions:
Chop the onion and cook over low heat for 5 - 7 minutes in a large non-stick frying pan with the 3 cups olive oil and a pinch of salt. Peel the potatoes and slice them quite thick, you can even use the potato peeler to slice the potatoes. Add the sliced potatoes and 2 pinch of salt to the frying pan and cook over low-medium heat for 20 - 25 minutes. Try to stir-frying every 2 - 3 minutes. The potatoes are done after starting to brown and when almost mashed. Remove the blend from the pan with a spatula and drain the oil. Crack the 5 or 6 eggs into a medium or large mixing bowl and whisk with a fork. Mix during 2 - 3 minutes the mashed mixture with the whisked eggs in the mixing bowl. This step is the key to get a juicy Spanish omelette. Place 1 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a medium size non-stick frying pan and heat over medium heat. Add the mashed mixture and cook over low-medium heat for 4 - 5 minutes. Shake a bit the frying pan every 30-45 seconds. Flip the Spanish omelette with a big plate. Make sure the plate covers completely the frying pan. Cook the omelette for 2 more minutes. The Tortilla Espanola is ready! Slide to a plate, serve and enjoy your Spanish omelette!
