Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 medium thin skinned potatoes ((red, yellow, or white))
  • 2/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 Tablepsoons half and half, ((or whole milk))
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Start by preheating the oven to 350°. 
  • Next, sauté the onion in the olive oil until its lightly softened and starting to become translucent. 
  • Remove the onion and set it aside.A traditional tortilla de patatas uses very thinly sliced potatoes. I cut mine just a little thicker and pre-cooked them. Place them in the same pan as the onions in a single layer and cook on low until each side is lightly golden and the potatoes are starting to soften.
  • Lay the potatoes in several layers in an oven-proof casserole dish. 
  • Top the potatoes with the onions. 
  • Now mix up the eggs. Whisk them together with the half and half and the salt and pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. 
  • Place in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the eggs are golden on top and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Serve hot, garnished with scallion ribbons (or just some chopped green onion). Add a salad and you have a complete meal!
