Set a strainer over a bowl and pour in potatoes; let drain. Reserve 1 tbsp. oil.

Fold eggs into potato mixture in a large bowl. Stir in parsley.

Heat reserved 1 tbsp. oil in a 10-in. nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into pan; spread evenly. Cook, lifting edges to check color. When eggs are medium brown, remove from heat. Set a large plate upside down over pan. Invert tortilla onto plate, then slide back into pan. Cook over medium heat until bottom is browned, about 4 minutes.

Transfer to a plate; cut into wedges.
