Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Slice the onion as well.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onion to the skillet and cook until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and black pepper. Add the cooked potatoes and onion to the eggs and gently mix to combine.
Step 4: Heat a little more olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg and potato mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly.
Step 5: Cook the tortilla for about 5 minutes on one side, or until it is golden brown and set. Flip the tortilla using a plate or lid, and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side.

Step 7: Cut the tortilla into wedges or squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
