- Large and medium frying pan.

- Large bowl.

- Knife.

Ingredients:

- 3-4 potatoes.

- 2 onions.

- Olive oil.

- Salt.

- 6 eggs.

First of all, cut the onions into little pieces. Then peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. It is advisable to use a mandoline during this step.

The most common recipes include onion but some people prefer not to include it, it's up to you! I highly recomend you to to give it a try.

Step 2: To the pan!
First, add some oil in a large pan, and wait until it gets hot to introduce the ingredients.Then add both potatoes and onions to the pan and wait until the mixture is cooked. Don't forget to add a pinch of salt.

This step is the longest one, as it needs to be fried in a low flame, and it requires time, so be patient, play a song in the midtime and move the mixture once in a while. The mixture is cooked when it turns tender!

Drain the mixture in order to separate the oil from the potatoes and onions mixture

Beat the eggs and add some salt during the process. Next, add the potatoes and onions to the beated eggs and mix it carefully.

Last but not least, add some oil in a medium frying pan and set a high flame. With the oil hot, add the mixture and wait more or less 2 minutes, and then its time to flip it! Use a plate (bigger than the pan) to make It easier and wait until the other side is fried.

In the last years, a lot of variants of the recipe has been created. Therefore, you can take into consideration those changes and include in your Spanish Omelette new ingredients such as peppers or chorizo.
