Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 50 minutes
Serves: 4

If served as four portions, provides 516 cals, 43g fat (of which 7g saturates), 0g sugar and 0.3g salt per portion.

Ingredients

- 500g (18oz) new potatoes, scrapped or skins left on if preferred, thickly sliced
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 150ml (5fl oz) extra-virgen olive oil
- 3 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 6 eggs
- Salt and pepper

Method

1. Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and onion and stew gently, partially covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are softened. Strain the potatoes and onion through a colander into a large bowl, and set the strained oil aside.

2. Beat the eggs separately, then stir into the potatoes with the parsley and plenty of salt and pepper. Heat a little of the strained oil in a smaller pan.

3. Tip everything into the pan and cook on a moderate heat, using a spatula to shape the omelette into a cushion.

4. When almost set, invert on a plate and slide back into the pan and cook a few more minutes.

5. Invert twice more, cooking the omelette briefly each time and pressing the edges to keep the cushion shape. Slide on to a plate and cool for 10 mins before serving.

Yummy - that makes the supermarket versions look decidedly sick!

Not sure what makes this 'Catalonian style' from any other Spanish omelette.

Most regions of Spain have their own version of a Tortilla I cook it quite often to my own style .
