Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice potatoes into 1/8-inch-thin rounds. Thinly slice the onion.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium. Add potatoes and onion with a pinch of salt, stir gently to coat.

  3. Step 3

    Cook uncovered, stirring every 2 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender and onions turn golden, about 12 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Crack eggs into a bowl, beat with 1.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp pepper until pale and no streaks remain.

  5. Step 5

    Pour eggs over warm potatoes, stir once to distribute evenly, then let sit without stirring. Cook over medium-high until edges are set and center still jiggles slightly, about 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Slide tortilla onto a plate and let cool 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
