Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into thin, even slices. Slice the onion into thin rings. This will ensure even cooking throughout the omelette.
Step 2: Cook the Potatoes and Onions
In a non-stick frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and onions, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook gently for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Once the potatoes and onions are done, remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon and combine them with the eggs, allowing them to rest for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
Step 4: Cook the Omelette
Remove excess oil from the pan, leaving just enough to coat the bottom. Pour the potato, onion, and egg mixture back into the pan. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent sticking. Once the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny, use a spatula to turn the omelette over and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
Remove the omelette from the pan and let it cool for a moment. Cut it into wedges that fit neatly into your tortillas. If using, sprinkle grated Manchego cheese over each wedge and garnish with fresh parsley. Place each wedge into a tortilla and roll it up tightly.
