instructions
    1

    Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.

    2

    In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes until they start to soften.

    3

    While the potatoes are cooking, thinly slice the onion and add it to the pan. Season with a little salt and pepper, and cook for another 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.

    4

    Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and add them to the pan, mixing gently. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened.

    5

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the pan.

    6

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for about 10-15 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure the bottom does not burn.

    7

    Once the tortilla is set but still slightly wobbly, place a large plate over the pan and carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate. Slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for an additional 5 minutes.

    8

    Once both sides are a beautiful golden brown, transfer the tortilla to a serving plate. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.
