Ingredients:

7 medium potatoes, peeled
1/2 of a  yellow onion
Half a dozen large eggs (use a dozen if you are using only egg whites)
Olive Oil (for frying)
Salt to taste

Directions:
Peel, chop, and sauté the onion on low heat until pieces are almost clear.
While onion is cooking, cut the potatoes into half and then slice pieces approximately 1/8″ thick.
Once the onions are ready, increase to medium heat
Add more Oil
Add the potatoes.
Add salt
Spread mixture evenly across the pan’s surface.
Note: The oil should almost cover the potatoes. Adjust heat to assure that the potatoes do not burn
Leave in pan until the potatoes are cooked. Potatoes are ready when they are easily broken with the spatula
Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon or spatula and place in a bowl.
Remove excess oil
Pour eggs (already beaten) into the potato onion mixture. Mix together with a large spoon.
Pour 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil into a small, non-stick frying pan and heat on medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, stir the potato mixture once more and then evenly spread into the pan.
Allow the egg to cook around the edges.
Then you can carefully lift up one side of the omelet to check if the egg has slightly browned
Note: The inside of the mixture should not be completely cooked and the egg will still be runny
When the mixture has browned on the bottom, you are ready to turn it over to cook the other side.
Cautiously take the frying pan over the sink. Place a large dinner plate (big enough to cover the opening of the pan) upside down over the frying pan

With one hand on the frying pan handle and the other on top of the plate to hold it steady, cautiously and quickly turn the frying pan over so the omellete is on the plate.

Place the frying pan back on the range and put just enough oil to cover the bottom and sides of the pan
Slide the omelet into the frying pan,using a spatula to catch any egg mixture that runs out.
Use the spatula to shape the sides of the omelet. Let the omelet cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Turn the heat off and let the tortilla sit in the pan for 2 minutes.
Optional:  Garnish with tomatoes, sauce or other vegetables.
