Zubereitung

1
Warm 150 ml of the olive oil in a 24 cm nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced potatoes, onion, and 5 g of the salt, turning gently to coat. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the potatoes are tender enough to break with a spoon but not browned.
2
Transfer the potato mixture to a colander set over a bowl and drain for 2 minutes. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the drained oil for the pan, then let the potatoes cool for 5 minutes so they do not scramble the eggs.
3
Whisk the eggs with the remaining 3 g salt in a large bowl until blended but not frothy. Fold in the warm potato and onion mixture, coating every slice, and rest for 5 minutes.
4
Heat the reserved oil in the cleaned skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg and potato mixture, smooth the surface, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, running a spatula around the edge until the base is golden and the sides are set.
5
Place a flat plate over the skillet and carefully invert the tortilla onto it. Slide the tortilla back into the skillet and cook the second side for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden and the center reaches at least 71°C and is softly set.

Warum dieses Rezept gelingt

Gentle olive-oil cooking turns the potatoes creamy and the onion sweet before the eggs bind everything together. Resting the tortilla lets its custard set while keeping the center tender.

Aufbewahren und Aufwärmen

So bewahrst du es auf

Cool completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Do not leave at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

So wärmst du es auf

Serve cold or at room temperature, or warm individual wedges in a covered skillet over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Avoid high heat, which can toughen the eggs.
