    Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).

  2. 2

    Peel and thinly slice the onion.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet, heat 3/4 cup of olive oil over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Add the sliced potatoes and onion to the skillet, sprinkle with salt, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned.

  5. 5

    Once cooked, drain the potatoes and onion in a colander to remove excess oil. Let them cool slightly.

    Gently fold the cooled potato and onion mixture into the beaten eggs.

  8. 8

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and heat over medium heat.

  9. 9

    Pour the egg, potato, and onion mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes until the edges are set.

  10. 10

    Using a large plate, carefully flip the tortilla over and cook the other side for an additional 5 minutes, until golden brown.

  11. 11

    Once cooked, slide the tortilla onto a serving plate and let it cool for a few minutes.

  12. 12

    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
