Practical advice
Tortilla has two cooking stages: tender potatoes, then eggs binding them. This version uses onion without claiming a single definitive variant. Drain oil and choose egg doneness for your diners.

Practical notes
This tortilla is a thick potato omelette, distinct from a corn or wheat flatbread. Soften the potatoes before mixing them with eggs. The site's version includes onion; leaving it out changes flavour and volume. Serve in wedges as a meal or smaller pieces to share. Adapt the doneness of the centre to your diners, and make two tortillas rather than one much thicker tortilla when doubling quantities.
