4 medium sweet potatoes (480g)
1 large onion (150g), finely chopped
1 teaspoon of salt
2/3 cup of olive oil (160ml)
3 large eggs
A pinch of black pepper
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into fine strips
Wash in cold water, then dry with a clean cloth or paper towel
Place the sweet potatoes in a bowl, add the onion and half of the salt, and mix well. Reserve
Heat 2/3 cup of olive oil in an 18cm diameter frying pan over medium heat
Add the reserved sweet potato mixture gradually and fry at high heat, stirring with a spatula until golden brown (about 10 minutes)
Remove from heat and reserve
Beat the eggs in a large bowl with a hand mixer until frothy
Season with the remaining salt and black pepper, then reserve
Strain the sweet potato mixture through a strainer to remove excess oil, reserving 1/2 cup of olive oil
Add the reserved sweet potatoes to the egg mixture, mix slowly, and let it rest for about 10 minutes
Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved olive oil in the same frying pan over medium heat
Add the sweet potato-egg mixture, spread immediately with a spatula, and cook, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent sticking, until the bottom is golden brown (about 2 minutes)
Flip the omelet onto a plate, add the remaining olive oil from the pan, and slide it back into the pan
Cook over high heat for about 2 minutes, then reduce heat to medium and cook until the bottom is golden brown
Transfer to a plate, let it cool, and serve
