Recipe for the Spanish "Tortilla de patatas"

Ingredients for the basic recipe:

8 eggs
1 kg of potatoes
Olive oil (1/4 of a liter)
Salt

Optional:

Chopped 1/2 big onion

Steps:

1) Wash and cut potatoes in thin slices. Once the olive oil is hot,
salt a bit and fry potatoes. Once they are golden fried.
Put them in bowl with paper towels to dry up the oil.
If you like it with onions, fry onions as well.

2) Beat eggs in a large bowl with a fork and add a little bit of salt.
Pour fried potatoes (and onions if that is the case), mixing everything very well.

3) Start heating up the frying pan with just a couple of tablespoon of olive oil,
and add potatoes-eggs mixture (and onions, again, if that is the case)
Lower the heat to medium-high.
Shake frying pan to prevent the tortilla to stick (crucial step!!)
When potatoes start to brown, put a plate on top of pan and
flip to cook other side, adding another tablespoon of olive oil.
Brown on the other side. Can flip over several times for a better cooking.
