Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes about 10-11 oz
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion peeled and chopped
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and slice thinly with a mandolin.
  • Mix the sliced potatoes with most of the oil, turning to coat.
  • Add to a pan over medium-low heat and cover with a lid. Cook for about 12 minutes, turning several times, until tender but not colored.
  • Turn the potatoes out of the pan and add the onion. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add to the potatoes with the beaten egg, mix and season generously.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick pan over low heat. Add the mixture and pat into a round. Cook for about 6 minutes until set at the edges and colored on the underside.
  • Carefully flip and cook for a further 4-5 minutes on the reverse side.
  • Turn out of the pan, slice, and serve hot or cold.
