instructions
    1

    Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds. Rinse and set aside.

    2

    Dice the onion finely. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

    3

    Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

    4

    In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the parsley. Stir in the cooked beef and onion mixture along with the sliced potatoes. Make sure everything is well combined.

    5

    Wipe the skillet clean and add a bit more olive oil. Pour in the egg mixture, spreading it evenly in the skillet.

    6

    Cook on medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, allowing the bottom to set. You can cover the skillet to help it cook evenly.

    7

    Once the bottom is golden brown, carefully invert the tortilla onto a plate and then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side, about another 8-10 minutes.

    8

    Once both sides are cooked and golden, remove from heat. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
