Peel and cut into small pieces about 2mm
thick. DO NOT cut the too big or too small.
see VIDEO-clip
(Cutting the Ingredients)
Heat the oil in a 9-inch skillet, add potato pieces, one slice at a time so that they don't stick.
Alternate layers of potato and onion. COOK slowly, medium flame.
Make sure the pan is hot before adding the oil, but be careful to overheat it, as when you place the oil, you will have an OIL FIRE.
see VIDEO-clip (To the Fire)
TIP:
DO NOT FRY!! Turn occasionally until potatoes are tender, but NOT brown. They must be loose, not "in a cake".
Reduce the heat to 1/2 or a bit less. If you don't, you will end up with a pancake instead of a TORTILLA.
see VIDEO-clip (Heat Down!)
Cover it, it is important that it fries but also cook on its vapour/steam.
see VIDEO-clip (Cover the Pan)
Beat eggs in a large bowl with a fork.
If you don't feel confident, do not separate the YORK from the YELLOW. You may end up with meringue, and we do not want that

Salt to taste. Also add a bit of pepper
see VIDEO-clip (Seasoning)
Mix with LOVE
see VIDEO-clip (Ready to Mix)
Drain potatoes.
Add potatoes to beaten eggs, pressing them so that eggs cover them completely.
Let sit for 15 minutes. It is important TO LET IT REST
see VIDEO-clip (Mixing)

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in large skillet.
see VIDEO-clip (Next Step)
Add potato-egg mixture, spreading quickly.
Lower the heat to medium-low.
Shake pan to prevent sticking (crucial step!!)
SLOW is the KEY
see VIDEO-clip (Slow Cooking)
When potatoes start to brown, put a plate on top skillet and flip to cook other side, adding another tbsp of oil.
Brown on the other side. Can flip three or four times for better cooking.
