Ingredients

1 cup olive oil

four large potatos (peel and cut into small pieces )

salt to taste

one large onion, thinly sliced

four large eggs.

I add thin slices of red pepper together with the onion.

Directions

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. DO NOT FRY!! Turn occasionally until potatoes are tender, but NOT brown. They must be loose, not "in a cake".

Beat eggs in a large bowl with a fork. Salt to taste. Drain potatoes. Add potatoes to beaten eggs, pressing them so that eggs cover them completely. Let sit for 15 minutes.

Heat 2 tbsps of the oil in large skillet. Add potato-egg mixture, spreading quickly. Lower the heat to medium-high. Shake pan to prevent sticking (crucial step!!) 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.

I like this recipe, but I have a few suggestions.
1. If you partially boil the whole potatoes a little before slicing and frying them, it speeds up the process and prevents the chances of burning the onions (which always seems to cook faster than the potatoes).

2. The flipping part is hard. Once you have your omelet in the skillet and it's congealed on the bottom, you can stick the skillet under the grill for a few minutes to seal the top of the omelet. This makes flipping it a lot easier.
