Ingredients

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes scrubbed clean
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 6 large eggs
  • Kosher salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Quarter the potatoes and thinly slice the potatoes to 1/8-inch thickness. This is when a mandoline comes in handy, like OXO's Simple Mandoline Slicer.
  • Heat the oil in the OXO 12" non-stick pan over medium heat. Add potatoes and onions and cook; flipping periodically until potatoes and onions are softened, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl until they turn a pale yellow. Add a generous pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Gently lift the potatoes mixture so that the egg mixture is evenly distributed throughout and give the pan a gentle shake. Let cook and set for about 3 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned.
  • Flipping the tortilla is a little tricky since the pan is large, but the side handles on the pan make the flipping a little easier. Take a lightweight cutting board or a baking sheet pan and cover the pan. Make sure the board or pan is a tad wider than the pan. Grab the handles and grip the board/pan with your thumbs. Quickly flip the pan and rest the board/pan on the counter. Warning: Some excess oil may splatter. Place the pan back on the heat and slide the tortilla back in. Continue cooking until eggs are set, about 3 minutes.
  • Cool to room temperature, cut in wedges and serve.
  • Alternatively: preheat the oven to LOW BROIL (oven-safe up to 430°F/220°C) and place the rack in the middle of the oven. Instead of flipping the tortilla, place the pan in the preheated oven and cook for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are set. Take out of the oven and cool to room temperature.
