Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- 2 potatoes
- Oil for frying
- 6 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- Olive oil for greasing the pan
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Cut the Onion: Start by cutting one onion into small pieces. This will add a nice flavor to your dish.
- Cut the Potatoes: Next, cut two potatoes into small pieces. This ensures they cook evenly and blend well with the other ingredients.
2. Fry the Vegetables:
- Heat the Oil: In a pan, add enough oil to cover the bottom and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Fry the Potatoes: Once the oil is hot, add the potato pieces to the pan. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Add the Onion: After the potatoes start to turn golden, add the chopped onion to the pan. Fry until the onion becomes translucent and slightly caramelized.
- Drain the Oil: Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Set aside in a container.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- Beat the Eggs: In a separate bowl, crack six eggs. Beat them well until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Season: Add one teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of black pepper to the eggs. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Combine with Potatoes and Onions: Add the fried potatoes and onions to the egg mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed.
4. Cook the Dish:
- Grease the Pan: In a clean pan, add a little olive oil. Use a brush to spread the oil evenly, ensuring the entire surface is well greased to prevent sticking.
- Add the Mixture: Pour the egg, potato, and onion mixture into the pan. Use a spoon to spread it out evenly, ensuring it cooks uniformly.
- Cover and Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure it is cooking evenly and not burning. The dish is ready when the eggs are fully set and the edges are slightly golden.
Serving Suggestions:
- With Salad: Serve this dish with a fresh green salad on the side for a complete meal.
- With Bread: Pair it with crusty bread or toast to make it more filling.
- With Sauce: You can also serve it with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
Tips and Variations:
- Cheese: Add some grated cheese to the egg mixture for a cheesy twist.
- Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill can be added to enhance the flavor.
