Caramelised Onion Tortilla
This Spanish tortilla is a delightful dish that combines layers of caramelized onions, tender potatoes, and eggs to create a savory and satisfying meal. The onions are slowly cooked to a golden perfection, while the potatoes are baked until soft. Mixed together with seasoned eggs, this tortilla is cooked on the stovetop until set and then flipped to achieve a beautifully browned exterior. Serve this classic dish warm or at room temperature for a comforting and flavorsome experience.

Ingredients
- 2 large onions , halved and thinly sliced
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- 800g waxy potatoes , peeled and thinly sliced
- 6 large eggs
Instructions
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a large frying pan, soften the onions with 1 tbsp olive oil and some seasoning. Cook over a low heat for 20 mins or until golden and caramelised.
- Place the potato slices, 3 tbsp olive oil and seasoning onto a large baking tray or 2 small ones and toss them around. Bake for 15 mins until potatoes are soft, but not brown.
- Mix the eggs in a large bowl with more seasoning. When the potatoes and onions are done, toss them in and mix well. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to a 20cm frying pan, warm it and pour in the egg mixture. Allow to cook slowly over a low heat for 20-25 mins.
- When nearly all the liquid egg is gone, you will need to flip it over. Place a plate on top of the pan and invert the tortilla, holding the plate firmly while doing so. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and cook for another 3-4 mins. Alternatively, if you aren’t too confident about flipping and your pan is ovenproof, place the pan under the grill for a few mins until the top is done. Serve cut into wedges, warm or at room temperature.
