Instructions
Step by step

Peel and cut the potatoes into thin slices.

Heat a good amount of oil in a large skillet and add the potatoes (and onion, if using). Cook over medium heat until tender, approximately 15-.

Drain the potatoes and onion, and place them in a large bowl.

Beat the eggs in another bowl and add the potatoes and onion. Mix well and add salt to taste.

In the same pan, add a little more oil and pour the mixture. Cook over medium heat until the edges are golden, then flip it over with the help of a plate and cook the other side.
- 7
Once golden on both sides, remove the tortilla from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
