- In a mixing bowl, beat 4 eggs, and season with a generous pinch of salt. - Add the fried potatoes and cooked onions into the bowl with beaten eggs. Mix everything together and let it rest (about 10-15 minutes for potatoes to absorb the egg flavor).
- Heat ¼ cup of olive oil in a frying pan/skillet. Wait until the oil is hot, then pour in the mixture. Push down the edges with a spatula. Let it cook until the edges are set (a few minutes).
- Cover the pan with a large plate. Hold the plate tight with one hand, and hold the handle of your pan/skillet with the other; flip over the skillet so that the plate is underneath and Tortilla is on the plate.
- Lift the empty pan/skillet and place it back onto the heat. Add a little oil (2 tablespoons). Slide the omelet back into the pan. Cook until set or until it looks to your liking.
