Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ pounds potatoes - about 3 or 4 medium sized potatoes

  • 1 medium yellow onion - diced

  • 1 cup olive oil

  • 1 Tbsp. Siena Seasoned Salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 6 extra-large eggs

Directions:

  • Thinly slice potatoes and onions; it's easiest if you use a mandoline. Meanwhile, heat oil in an 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. After 3 or 4 minutes, drop in a potato slice. When tiny bubbles appear around its edges, add potatoes, onions, a good pinch of salt and a liberal sprinkling of pepper. Gently turn mixture in oil with a wooden spoon, and adjust heat so oil bubbles lazily.

  • Cook, turning potatoes gently every few minutes, until they are tender when pierced with a small knife. Adjust the heat so they do not brown. If potatoes begin to break, they are overdone; stop cooking immediately. As potatoes cook, beat eggs with seasoned salt and pepper in a large bowl.

  • Drain potatoes in a colander, reserving oil. Wipe out skillet, and heat over a medium flame for a minute. Add 2 Tbsp. oil. Gently mix warm potatoes with eggs, season generously with Siena.

  • Add mixture to skillet. As soon as edges firm up, after a minute or so, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 5 minutes.

  • Insert a rubber spatula all around edges of tortilla to make sure it will slide from pan. The top will still be runny. Cover the skillet with a plate, and holding the plate tightly against the skillet, invert them. Add another Tbsp. oil to skillet, and use a spatula to coax tortilla back into the skillet from the plate. Cook 5 minutes, then slide from skillet onto a clean plate. Serve warm (not hot), or at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
