Some weekends you wake up and don’t feel to make breakfast or get out to buy some. That’s what tortilla is for, you prepare it in advance and keep it in the fridge for maximum two days. The lazy you will be grateful all the Saturday mornings. By the way, do you know what’s the difference between a tortilla and a frittata? Both preparations begin in a frying pan. But whereas the frittata is finished in the oven, Spanish tortillas are flipped and finished on the stove-top.

Serves 3
Total Time
1 hr
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 cups olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt
- 2 medium waxy potatoes (about 110g), peeled, cut into 1 cm pieces
- 8 large eggs
- 10 parsley leafs (optional)
Instructions
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and dark brown, 35–40 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, heat potatoes and remaining 2 cups oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until oil around potatoes begins to bubble; reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender but have not taken on any color, 10–12 minutes. Drain potatoes, reserving oil. Season potatoes with salt and let cool slightly.
- Combine eggs, onion, potatoes, and ¼ cup reserved potato cooking oil in a large bowl and gently beat with a fork. Add the parsley leafs if using.
- Heat 3 Tbsp. reserved potato cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat (reserve remaining oil for another use). Add egg mixture and cook, lifting at edge and tilting skillet to let uncooked egg run underneath, until bottom and edge of tortilla are set but center is still wet.
- Set a large plate on top of skillet. Swiftly invert tortilla onto plate, then slide back into skillet, cooked side up. Cook until center is just set, about 2 minutes longer. Cut into wedges.
