The recipe

Instructions

  1. 1
    Slice the potatoes thinly and chop the onion. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and add both with a generous pinch of salt.
  2. 2
    Cook on medium-low for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned. Drain off most of the oil.
  3. 3
    Beat the eggs with salt. Mix the warm potatoes through the eggs and let sit 5 minutes.
  4. 4
    Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil in the pan. Pour in the mixture, cook on medium-low for 6 minutes until the bottom sets.
  5. 5
    Slide onto a plate, invert into the pan, and cook another 3 minutes. Slide onto a serving plate. Eat warm or room temp.
