1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
2
Chop the Onion
Peel and finely chop the onion.

3
Cook the Potatoes and Onion
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and chopped onion. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden, about 15-20 minutes.
4
Beat the Eggs
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
5
Combine the Mixture
Once the potatoes and onion are cooked, drain excess oil if necessary, and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Then, gently fold the potato-onion mixture into the beaten eggs until well combined.
6
Cook the Tortilla
Wipe the skillet clean and add a little more olive oil. Pour the egg and potato mixture back into the skillet. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is set and golden brown. Carefully flip the tortilla using a large plate, and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until fully cooked through.

7
Slice and Serve
Once cooked, slide the tortilla onto a cutting board. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, then slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
