Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 5-6 potatoes
• 1 onion
• 6 eggs
• Salt to taste
• Olive oil

Preparation:

Alright, amigos, let’s get ready to make this iconic Spanish dish! First, grab those trusty potatoes and peel them. Then, slice them thinly (not paper-thin, not steak-thick, just right). Next, chop up the onion. We’re setting the stage for a flavor fiesta!

Now, crack those eggs into a bowl and beat them like you're training for a marathon. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt—it’s about balance, amigo.

Heat up a good glug of olive oil in a frying pan. Add the potatoes and onions, and let them swim in the oil until they're tender and golden. This is where the magic happens, so don't rush it—let those flavors dance together.

Once the potatoes and onions are looking golden and gorgeous, it’s showtime. Pour them into the bowl with the eggs. Let them cozy up in there, getting to know each other. Mix it all together, and then pour the entire mix back into the frying pan. Let it cook gently, like a lullaby luring you to siesta time.

When the omelette starts to set around the edges, it’s time to flip it. Take a big plate, place it gently over the pan, and with one swift move, flip the pan over. Then, slide the omelette back into the pan and let it cook on the other side until it’s golden and fluffy—like a Spanish sunrise.

Now, here's the tricky part—slide the tortilla onto a plate. You can do it! Just believe in yourself, and everything will be fine.

There you have it, amigos! A beautiful tortilla de patatas, ready to be devoured.
