Serves: 8-10

Preparation/cooling time: 20 mins

Cooking time: 35-40 mins

You’ll need: 

250ml olive oil

700g waxy potatoes, finely sliced

1 large white onion, cut into rings

6 large eggs

230g jar Isle of Wight Oak Smoked Tomatoes, tomatoes drained and oil reserved

Salt and pepper

What to do:

1. Gently heat the olive oil over a low-medium heat in a pan. Fry the potatoes and the onion until soft, but not browned, about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, beat the eggs together in a large bowl.
3. Drain the potatoes and onion, and leave to cool down.
4. Once cooled, stir into the egg and add the oak smoked tomatoes. Season generously.
5. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved tomato oil to the pan on a medium heat. Pour the mixture into the pan, giving it a quick mix, spreading the potato evenly across the pan.
6. Preheat the grill to medium while the tortilla begins to cook, and cook gently for 10-12 minutes.
7. Run a spatula around the edges of the tortilla to ensure the mixture doesn’t stick.
8. Remove from the hob and place under the grill for another 5 minutes until golden. Test with the point of a knife whether the potatoes are tender.
9. Invert onto a plate, leave to cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature.
