1. 1

   Peel and very thinly slice potatoes and onion. Mix it in a large bowl. Add salt and blend well. Heat the oil in a frying pan - it should be rather hot and bubble quite well when you try it with a piece of potato. Put half of the potato-onion mixture in the frying pan and let fry on high heat. Gently stir so that all potato slices are golden brown and tender.

2. 2

   This batch makes 2 tortillas. You need 3 eggs for each tortilla, that is 6 eggs for this batch. Beat 3 eggs well in a deep plate. Pick potatoes and onions up with a perforated ladle so that most of the oil stays in the frying pan. When the plate is filled, gently press the potato mixture down so that it's more or less covered with egg, but don't blend it. Set aside while you repeat the procedure with the next 3 eggs in another deep plate. When you've come this far, you should still have half the potato-onion mixture left, and two deep plates filled with potatoes, onions, and eggs.
