Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Peel potatoes and slice 1/8 inch thick; slice the onion thinly.
  2. Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-low and gently poach potatoes and onion for 12 minutes until soft but not browned, then drain, reserving 2 tbsp oil.
  3. Beat the eggs with the salt in a bowl, fold in the drained potatoes and onion, and rest 2 minutes.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp reserved oil in a 9-inch pan over medium heat, pour in the mixture, and cook 4 minutes until the edges set.
  5. Cover with a plate, flip the tortilla, slide it back in, and cook 3 more minutes for a slightly juicy center.
  6. Rest 3 minutes and cut into wedges.
