Recipes from Spain

This is variant of typical potato omelette (or spanish omelette) replacing the potate by a sweet potato. This simple change makes a nice difference in the taste of the dish.

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1 onion
• 1 sweet potato

Start whisking 3 eggs on a bowl and add a bit of salt. Peel and chop an onion; peel a sweet potato, cut it vertically in 4 pieces and then cut in slices each piece.

On a pan put between 1 and 2 fingers of oil, and when oil is hot add sweet potato and onion to the pan, also add salt (a bit more than you usually will do with regular potato) and pepper. Let them cook for about 10 to 12 minutes moving frequently, so the sweet potaty is uniformly cooked and don’t get stuck to the pan; you can taste one piece of sweet potato, if it is soft then it’s ready.

Strain the sweet potato and onion and add them to the already whisked eggs, remove well so all sweet potato it’s impregned with egg. Put a bit of oil in the pan, set the fire low and add the mix to the pan when oil is hot. When the omelette starts to craddle, put a bit of oil in the lid and turn the omelette carefully.

Turn as many times as you want and the omelette is ready to serve.
