Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Thinly slice the onion as well.
Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onions, and cook until they are tender and slightly golden brown, stirring occasionally. This process will take about 15-20 minutes.
Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined. Season with salt.
Step 4: Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, remove them from the pan and drain any excess oil. Add them to the beaten eggs and mix well.
Step 5: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in the same pan over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and spread it evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom is set.
Step 6: Flip the tortilla using a large plate or lid, and slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for another 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7: Remove the tortilla from the pan and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges or squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
