3. Beat eggs until frothy in separate bowl and add to cooled potatoes and onions, then stir to mix.

4. In clean skillet, heat remaining oil over moderate heat until almost smoking. Pour potato and egg mixture into skillet and allow to set for a few minutes.

5. Reduce heat to low and cook for ten minutes or until tortilla is set enough to flip. Place a large plate over skillet and flip tortilla onto it. Gently slide the tortilla back into the skillet and cook over very low heat for about 15 minutes or until set. The tortilla is set when it feels firm to the touch.

6. Place a serving dish over skillet and gently flip tortilla onto it. Serve hot or room temperature.
