Peel and thinly slice the potatoes.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the sliced potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Add sliced onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

In a bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Drain excess oil from the potato-onion mixture and add it to the eggs.

Mix gently to combine, ensuring the potatoes are coated with egg.

Wipe the skillet clean and add a little oil over medium heat.

Pour the egg-potato mixture into the skillet and cook until the bottom is set, about 5 minutes.

Use a plate to flip the omelet and cook the other side until golden, about 3-4 minutes.

Slide the omelet onto a serving plate and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
