1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick).
2
Sauté the Onion
Peel and slice the onion thinly. In a large skillet, heat half of the olive oil over medium heat, then add the onion. Cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3
Cook the Potatoes
Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet with the onions. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden. Season with salt and black pepper.

4
Whisk the Eggs
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Season with a little salt and pepper.
5
Combine and Cook
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly. Then, add the potato and onion mixture to the bowl with the eggs, stirring gently to combine.
6
Heat Remaining Oil
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
7
Cook the Tortilla
Pour the potato and egg mixture into the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is set and golden. Use a large plate to flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until fully cooked through.

8
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, slide the tortilla onto a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
