Peel the potatoes and slice them 2 to 3 mm thick. Cut the onion into half-moons and crush the garlic.
Pour the olive oil into a wide pan, add the potatoes and onion, and confit over medium-low heat for 18 minutes, until small bubbles appear in the oil. Add the garlic during the last 2 minutes.
Transfer the potatoes and onion to a sieve to drain excess oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
Beat the eggs in a deep bowl, add the drained potato mixture, and rest for 5 minutes.
Leave 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan and heat it. Pour in the mixture and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, drawing in the edges as the base sets.
Flip the tortilla with a wide plate and cook the other side for 4 more minutes, leaving the center slightly moist.
Transfer to a plate, rest for 5 minutes, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature in slices.
💡 Tip: Confit the potatoes gently; the oil should be warm, not hot, around 60 to 65°C. Use a wide plate or a second pan to flip the tortilla, and keep the center slightly moist in the Spanish style.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm or at room temperature in slices, sprinkled with finely chopped parsley. Bread and tomato salad go well alongside.
