Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until they become tender but not browned. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
3. Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a colander or a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent.
5. In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Add the cooked potatoes and onions to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Gently fold the ingredients together, ensuring that every potato slice is coated with the egg mixture.
7. Place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil if needed.
8. Pour the potato and egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
9. Cook the tortilla for about 4-5 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown.
10. Using a flat plate slightly larger than the skillet, carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate. Then, slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the tortilla is cooked through but still slightly moist in the center.
11. Once cooked, transfer the Tortilla Española onto a serving plate and let it cool for a few minutes.
12. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
