Ingredients
1 large Yukon gold potato, sliced in half lengthwise then sliced into 2 mm semicircles
2 medium onions, sliced
1 ¼ cups olive oil
4 large eggs
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
6 - 8 2 inch baguettes
2 tomatoes of choice
Tools
6 inch nonstick pan
Directions
Step 1
Slice onions and potato. Transfer potato to a bowl of ice water and let sit for 5-10 minutes then drain.
Step 2
Heat olive oil over medium high heat. Once shimmering add in onion with a pinch of salt. Fry while stirring occasionally until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, along with another pinch of salt. Fry while stirring occasionally until cooked through but still toothsome, about 7 minutes.
Step 3
Set a colander or large strainer over a bowl. Drain the cooked onion and potato, reserving the oil.
Step 4
Combine eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Beat until thoroughly combined. Add cooked onion and potato and gently combine as to not break the potatoes.
Step 5
Add 4 tbsp of the reserved oil to a 6 inch non stick pan over medium high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the tortilla mixture. Use a rubber spatula to evenly spread out the mixture and also tuck in the sides. Once golden brown on the bottom and sides, tightly cover the pan with a plate and flip in one swift motion.
Step 6
Add another 2 tbsp of the reserved oil to the pan. Tilt the plate into the pan so that all the runny eggs can go in first, then gently slide the tortilla back into the pan. Use your rubber spatula to once again tuck in the sides and gently press the tortilla into an even layer. Cook until golden brown on the second side then transfer the tortilla to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb any excess grease. Cut the tortilla into 6 even slices.
Step 7
Toast your baguette if desired. For each sandwich, slice a tomato in half and rub flesh side down, gently squeezing to get the juices onto the bread. Each half of bread gets a half of a tomato. Season the bread with a little bit of salt and pepper. Optionally drizzle on some olive oil. Each sandwich gets about half of the tortilla.
Step 8
Serve and enjoy!
