Tortilla de patatas 

Peel and halve  the potatoes then slice  to about 1/4 inch thick 

Halve the onion and thinly slice then heat the olive oil in the pan on medium heat and fry the onions until just slightly browned 

Whisk the eggs in a bowl then add a good pinch of salt .

Drain the onions and add to the egg mixture 

Place the sliced potatoes into the same pan and fry a few minutes on medium heat until just changing to golden .

Strain the potatoes and add to the egg mixture and let it rest for 20 minutes. At this point you can strain the olive oil through a sieve and save it for the next time you are frying .

Put the pan on medium high and add the potato egg mixture . After three minutes lower the heat to medium low and cook 7 minutes .

Use a plate to flip the potatoes and put back into the pan and fry the other side until fully cooked approx 7 minutes .
