Method

Prep 15 min · cook 40 min
  1. Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly; slice the onion. Salt both.
  2. Cook them gently in the olive oil in a 24 cm pan for 25 minutes, turning now and then, until soft but not browned.
  3. Drain them in a sieve over a bowl to keep the oil. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and fold in the potatoes; leave 10 minutes.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in the pan, pour in the mixture and cook over medium-low heat for 5–6 minutes, shaping the edge.
  5. Turn it out onto a plate, slide it back into the pan and cook the other side for 3–4 minutes.
  6. Rest for 5 minutes before cutting. It keeps for 3 days and is eaten at room temperature as often as warm.
