Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, wide pan with high sides over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the potatoes, onion, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add more olive oil as needed to ensure everything is submerged. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 5-7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Place a metal strainer over a large heatproof bowl. Carefully strain the potatoes and onion and set aside to cool. Reserve the cooking oil.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, and pepper until foamy, 2-3 minutes. Gently fold in the cooled potato and onion mixture and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the reserved oil in a 9 or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, pour in the egg and potato mixture and spread in an even layer. Cook, tilting the pan and lifting up the edges with spatula to let the uncooked egg run underneath, until the edges are pale yellow and lacy, 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and place a large heatproof plate over the skillet. Working quickly, invert the pan to flip the tortilla onto the plate.
- Return the skillet to medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil, then slide the tortilla back into the pan with the uncooked side facing down. Use spatula to tuck in the sides of the tortilla. Cook until the bottom of the tortilla is browned and the center is cooked through, 2-3 minutes.
- Slide the tortilla onto the plate and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!
