In modern times, variations abound, incorporating local ingredients and flavors, making it a beloved dish across Germany and beyond.
olive oil

Peel and slice the potato thinly.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Add the potato to the frying pan; season with salt and pepper.
Cook until the potato is tender and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk the egg.
Once the potato is cooked, pour the egg over the potato in the frying pan, ensuring even coverage.
Cook on medium heat until the edges set, about 2 minutes.
Carefully flip the tortilla using a plate, then cook the other side until set, about 2 more minutes.
