Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes (about 500 g), peeled and thinly sliced
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 60 ml olive oil
  • 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook potatoes with onion for 10–12 minutes until tender but not browned.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Stir in parsley.
  4. Let the potato mixture cool slightly, then combine with the egg mixture.
  5. Return skillet to low heat, grease if needed, and pour in the mixture evenly.
  6. Cook on low heat for 10–12 minutes until the bottom is set.
  7. Carefully flip using a plate or lid and cook for another 5–7 minutes until fully set and golden.

Notes

  • Slice potatoes thinly for even cooking.
  • Allow potatoes to cool slightly before mixing with eggs.
  • Cook on low heat to avoid burning.
  • Use a non-stick pan for easier flipping.
  • Can be baked instead of pan-cooked.
