Ingredients
- 300 g potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
- 300 g sweet potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
- 1 onion, thickly sliced
- olive oil, for shallow-frying
- 6 large eggs
- 100 g Manchego cheese, grated
- 1 sprig rosemary, leaves picked
Resting time: 10 minutes
Instructions
Rinse the potato and sweet potato slices under cold water and pat dry.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, add the onion, potato and sweet potato and fry until they are tender and on the point of falling apart, then drain in a sieve placed over a heatproof bowl, keeping the oil for the omelette.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl, add the cooked vegetables, cheese and rosemary and combine gently. Set aside for 10 minutes (or longer if you prefer a stronger onion flavour).
Heat 1 tbsp of the reserved oil in a 24 cm diameter non-stick frying pan (or large enough so that the mixture almost fills the pan) over medium heat. When hot, add the mixture and cook until it comes away from the edge of the pan and looks about two-thirds set.
Place a large plate over the pan and quickly invert the pan onto the plate, so the tortilla flips onto the plate. Gently slide the tortilla back into the pan and cook the other side until set and the base is golden.
Slide the tortilla out of the pan, slice into wedges and serve with a salad.
