Instructions

  1. Peel the three potatoes, cut them in half, then cut into even quarters.
  2. Slice the potatoes about 1 cm thick.
  3. Warm a medium deep frying pan over low heat and add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil.
  4. Once the oil is warm, add the potato slices and simmer for up to 5 minutes.
  5. Peel the onion, slice it into thin strips and add them to the pan.
  6. Cook the potato and onion until they start to soften.
  7. Whisk the 5 eggs well in a separate bowl.
  8. Pour the eggs into the pan and gently move the mixture so the egg runs through.
  9. Keep moving the mixture slightly and slide the spatula around the edges so nothing sticks to the pan.
  10. Cook for about 10 minutes.
  11. Place a large flat dish over the pan, then flip the pan so the omelette falls onto the dish.
  12. Slide the uncooked side back into the pan and cook for another 10 minutes or so, depending on your preference.
