Ingredients

For 4 people:

• 1 small onion.
• 1 medium green bell pepper.

Preparation

First, we will peel, wash and cut the potato in small cubes to later be able to fry them without any difficulty. When we have all the potatoes cut in this way, we will put about 3-4 cm of oil in a frying pan or fryer, and we will begin to fry them. We will have to do this in several batches, so, when they are fried, reserve them in a container with absorbent paper so that it sucks up all the oil.

Then we will peel the onion and we will cut it into small pieces so that later it is not noticeable. We will do the same with the pepper. When everything is cut, we will put a little oil in a pan and fry it a little until the onion changes a little color and the pepper is tender.

Then, we will mix the fried potatoes with the onion and the pepper in a bowl. Later, we will adding the 5 eggs, until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.

Later, in the same oil where we have fried the onion and the pepper, we will put a tablespoon of olive oil, and we will dump the previous mixture. We move the pan and stir at the same time with a trowel, so that the ingredients are spread throughout the pan and thus or all distributed in the Spanish tortilla.

Finally, when we see that it has set, we will turn it over with a large flat plate, and let it cook for another few minutes on the other side and… that's it !. Now it's time to enjoy our famous Spanish tortilla.
