How to make it
- Heat half the oil in a frying pan, and sauté the onion over a medium heat until soft and pale gold – this will take about 8 mins.
- Remove from the pan, set aside, and add the potatoes to the pan.
- Cook until they are tender but not falling apart, carefully turning every so often.
- Cover the pan some of the time to help the slices cook through.
- Add the onions back to the pan along with the garlic and cook for another 4 mins.
- Tip into a bowl with the eggs, parsley and some seasoning and mix together.
- Leave to sit for half an hour.
- Meanwhile, put the cod in a saucepan and cover with water.
- Bring up to a simmer.
- Remove from the heat, cover and leave for 10 mins.
- Drain, leave to cool and remove the skin and any bones.
- Break into large flakes and add to the potato and egg mixture.
- Heat the rest of the oil in a non-stick frying pan.
- Pour in the tortilla mix and cook over a medium-low heat until it is just set and coming away from the sides of the pan.
- You might need to cover it to help the centre set.
- Be careful not to overcook it.
- Put a spatula underneath the tortilla every so often to make sure it isn’t sticking.
- Slide the tortilla onto a plate, then put the pan on top and flip the tortilla into it, uncooked side-down.
- Cook over a low heat until golden, or grill until just set.
- Leave to cool a little before serving.
