Slice the potatoes thinly and chop the onion finely using a sharp utility knife for precision.
In a frying pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil before cooking the potatoes and onion.
Add the onion and potatoes. Cook until soft but not browned, stirring periodically, for 10 to 12 minutes.
Add salt and pepper for seasoning. After draining the excess oil, remove the mixture from the pan and put aside.

Uncooked side down, slide the tortilla back into the pan.
Cook until completely set, about 5 to 7 more minutes.
