Instructions
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the thinly sliced potatoes and onions to the pan, spreading them evenly.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook the potatoes and onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- In the meantime, beat the eggs in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, pour the beaten eggs over them in the pan, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Cook the omelette on one side until it's set, about 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully flip the omelette using a large plate and cook on the other side for another 5 minutes, or until it's fully cooked.
- Serve the Ibizan omelette hot, cut into wedges, with a side salad or freshly baked bread.
Tips
- For a different flavor profile, you can add minced garlic or bell peppers.
- The key to a perfect Ibizan omelette is to cook it slowly on a low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
