Spanish Garlic Potato Omelette | The ONE Omelette that TOPS them ALL

Heat a large nonstick fry pan with a medium heat and add in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Meanwhile, thinly slice the cloves from 1 head of garlic, finely chop 1 large onion and cut 4 medium sized potatoes (peeled) into small 1/4 inch (.625 cm) thick pieces

Add the sliced garlic into the pan with the hot olive oil, mix continuously, after 2 minutes and the garlic is lightly browned, remove all the garlic from the pan and set aisde

Using the same pan with the same heat, add in the chopped onion, mix continuously, after 3 minutes and the onion is translucent, add in the chopped potatoes, mix together so all the potatoes are coated in the olive oil, then mix every 3 to 4 minutes so the potatoes evenly fry

Meanwhile, crack 6 eggs into a large bowl, season with sea salt & black pepper, whisk together, then add in 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley and the sliced garlic we cooked earlier, mix together and set aside

After frying the potatoes for 20 to 22 minutes, they should be fully cooked through, just pierce them with a toothpick, if it easily goes in they are ready, other wise fry the potatoes until done, season the potatoes with sea salt, mix together and remove the pan from the heat

Add the potatoes into the bowl with the eggs (reserving the oil in the pan), mix together and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes

Heat the same fry pan with a low to low-medium heat, you should have some olive oil left in the pan from the potatoes, about 1 to 2 tbsp (15 to 30 ml), if not add in a little olive oil

After leaving the egg & potato mixture to sit for 5 minutes add it into the hot pan, make sure the mixture is evenly spread out and in a flat layer, after 2 minutes run a spatula through the outer edges, to ensure the omelette is not sticking to the pan

About 4 minutes after adding the mixture, place a plate that´s slightly smaller than the pan over the pan, place one hand on the plate and with the other hand flip the pan into the plate, slide the omelette back into the pan to cook the other side, using the back of the spatula, push the omelette from the outer edges towards the center, this gives it that classic rounded edge

After a total cooking time of 8 minutes, the eggs should be perfectly cooked through, remove the pan from the heat and transfer into a serving dish, enjoy!
