How to Make this No Fry Spanish Potato Omelette Recipe

1. Set your oven to a temperature of 375°F (190°C) to warm it up.

2. In a big frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add in the sliced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for approximately 10 minutes until they are tender.

3. Finely chop the onion and add it to the skillet with the potatoes; sauté for another 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

4. In a big bowl, whisk the eggs with a mere touch of salt and pepper.

5. In a bowl, combine beaten eggs with sautéed potatoes and onions. Mix gently, ensuring an even blend.

6. Clean the skillet; then add the other 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat over medium heat.

7. Place the potato and egg mixture back into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.

8. Move the pan to the oven that has been heated to the right temperature, and let it bake for a quarter of an hour to 20 minutes; it should be set and cooked through when you take it out.

9. Take it out of the oven and allow it to cool for a short time.

10. Move the omelette to a plate for serving. Cut the omelette into wedges. Slicing into four or six wedges is a good idea if you want each person to have some omelette.

Pro Tips

1. Uniform Potato Slices Ensure that the potatoes are sliced uniformly to guarantee even cooking. You can use a mandoline slicer for precision, which will help the potatoes become tender at the same time.

2. Egg Beating Technique When whisking the eggs, beat them just until the whites and yolks are combined. Over-beating can incorporate too much air, affecting the texture of the finished omelette.

3. Infuse Flavor with Herbs Consider adding fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or thyme to the egg mixture for an extra layer of flavor. Stir them in right before adding the eggs to the pan.

4. Use a Non-stick Skillet To prevent sticking and to easily transfer the omelette to a plate for serving, using a high-quality non-stick skillet is recommended. Ensure it’s oven-safe if you’re moving from stove to oven.

5. Oven Caution Keep a close eye on the omelette in the oven during the last few minutes of baking. It can go from perfectly set to over-cooked quickly. If your oven tends to run hot, consider checking it a few minutes earlier than suggested.
