5. Spanish Tortilla (Potato Omelette)

A Spanish tortilla is an iconic dish made with eggs, potatoes, and onions. It's like a thick, hearty omelette.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced

• 6 large eggs

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the Potatoes and Onions:

   • Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the sliced potatoes and onions, cooking over medium heat until they are soft but not crispy. Stir occasionally, making sure they don’t burn.

2. Beat the Eggs:

   • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper.

3. Combine:

   • Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, gently stir them into the beaten eggs. Let the mixture sit for a minute or so to allow the eggs to absorb the flavors.

4. Cook the Tortilla:

   • Heat a little more oil in the pan, then pour in the egg-potato mixture. Cook over low heat, allowing the bottom to set. When the edges start to brown, flip the tortilla (you can use a plate to help) and cook the other side for 2-3 more minutes.

5. Serve:

   • Let the tortilla cool for a few minutes before slicing. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
