Step 1
Peel potatoes and slice them into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Slice onion into thin rings.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and onion, stir gently, and cook until barely tender, ~8 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk eggs in a large bowl with salt and pepper until no streaks of white remain.
Step 4
Pour eggs over potatoes and onion. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook without stirring until edges start to set, ~6 minutes.
Step 5
Place a plate over the skillet, flip the tortilla onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side, ~2 minutes.
Step 6
Slide onto a cutting board, cool for 2 minutes, cut into wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature.
