Introduce the video and the different versions of Spanish tortilla being made.

Add 7 eggs to a bowl and whisk 6 of them lightly to avoid over-whisking.

Add potato chips to the eggs, breaking them up slightly.

Season the eggs with 2 liberal pinches of salt and black pepper, but do not season the potato chips as they are already salty.

Let the potato chips absorb the egg mixture for about 5 minutes.

Heat half of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Pour the egg and potato chip mixture into the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly.

Cook until the bottom sets slightly before transferring to the oven.

Place the skillet in a preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes.

Remove from the oven and check for doneness; it should be golden brown on top.

Plate the tortilla and garnish with chives.
