Peel, then rinse the potatoes to remove any excess starch, finely slice them, then add them to some boiling water.

Boil on high for 3-4 minutes (Note: you can start prepping the onions in step 2 while you wait).

Remove potatoes from heat, strain off excess water, and set aside.

In a small pan on medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and the finely sliced onions. Saute onions until golden (this should take around 5 minutes).

In a medium-sized bowl whisk the eggs by hand for 1 minute. Season with the nutmeg, salt, and pepper (to taste).

Add the onion and potato and gently mix through.

Turn heat to very low (1 or 2) and add the tortilla mix to the pan.

Cook for 3-4 minutes without disturbing, then use a spatula to gently fold the edges away from the sides of the pan. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes more.

At this stage, your tortilla will still be gooey in the middle and uncooked on top. Use a plate to cover your pan, press down and flip the pan so the tortilla arrives on the plate, cooked side up.

Use a spatula or large knife to gently move the tortilla back into the pan, cook for another 2-3 minutes. This should result in your tortilla being slightly gooey in the center while holding together on the outside. (cook for longer if you prefer less gooey).

Serve while still hot plain or with some fresh bread.
