Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour about 2 cups of olive oil into a frying pan over high heat (you will be able to reuse oil)
- Cook onion and potatoes in oil for 10-15 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally
- Crack eggs into a large bowl. Add potatoes and onion, straining off excess oil. Stir mixture together and let rest, covered, for 15 minutes
- Heat a non-stick 9-inch pan to high heat. When hot, add potato and egg mixture. Cook on high heat for 1 minute, then medium heat for 2 minutes. To check if it is ready, shake the pan a little and run a spatula around the sides of the omelet. If it separates from the pan, it is ready to be flipped
- Put a plate that is bigger than the frying pan face-down over the frying pan, and flip the omelet onto the plate (see video)
- Slide omelet uncooked side down back onto the pan. Cook 1 minute on high, 2 minutes on medium. Flip back onto plate and serve. It should be moist and slightly runny in the center
