• 650g waxy potatoes

2. While onions are cooking dice the potatoes into 1cm squares

3. Add the potato to the onion and turn up the heat add salt and pepper and cook until potatoes are soft

4. Stir the mixture frequently until it becomes soft then drain on kitchen towel

5. Wipe the pan and add a good drizzle of olive oil and put on a medium heat

6. Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the onion and potato mix, add a little more seasoning and gently pour into the heated oil, cook for 1 minute before placing in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 8-10 minutes

7. The tortilla should be slightly wet inside, if this is not to your taste then leave in the oven for a few more minutes.
