Instructions
Step 1
Bring water to boil in a medium size pot with a pinch of salt (approx. ¼ teaspoon). Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and boil them for 35 minutes or until you can easily insert a knife. Alternatively, poke the potatoes all over with a fork, put on a plate or in a microwave-save bowl covered with plastic wrap, and microwave until you can easily insert a knife.
Step 2
In the meantime, add a drizzle of olive oil to a non-stick pan on low heat. Add the onion/shallot with a pinch of salt, and saute for 25 minutes or until nicely brown.
Step 3
Once the potatoes are ready, take them out of the water/microwave and let them cool down a bit until you can easily peel them. Peel (optional) and thinly slice them.
Step 4
Add the eggs with a pinch of salt to a large mixing bowl, and beat them with a fork. Don't beat them too hard, as you don't want to create foam. Add the onion and combine. Add the potatoes and combine well all the ingredients.
Step 5
Grease the non-stick pan and set the heat to medium. Add the mix to the pan and cook for 4-8 minutes, until starting to set. With the help of a spatula, shape the edges of the mix slightly towards the middle.
Step 6
Now comes the time to flip the tortilla. Use a big enough plate (that covers the entire surface of the tortilla mix) and place it on top. Put the palm of your hand on the middle of the plate, and flip the pan upside down. Your hand will end up underneath the pan, and the tortilla mix facing up. Gently place the pan back in the stove, and slide the mix back to the pan. Cook for another 4 minutes.
Step 7
Transfer the tortilla to a new plate, slice, and enjoy!
