Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then add the potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Cook the Tortilla
Wipe the skillet clean and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is set and lightly browned. Carefully flip the tortilla over using a large plate and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until fully cooked.
