Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. Peel and finely dice the onion.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the potato slices and onion to the skillet. Stir occasionally and cook until the potatoes are tender and golden, about 10-12 minutes. Avoid letting them brown too much.
While the potatoes and onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the salt and black pepper. Whisk until the eggs are fully beaten and well-combined.
Reduce the heat to low once the potatoes and onions are cooked. Transfer them to the bowl with the beaten eggs and stir gently to coat the potatoes and onions evenly.
Wipe the skillet clean and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium-low heat.
Pour the egg, potato, and onion mixture into the skillet. Spread it out evenly in the pan. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is set and golden brown.
To flip the omelette, place a large plate over the skillet. Quickly and carefully invert the omelette onto the plate. Slide the omelette back into the pan, uncooked side down, and cook for another 3-5 minutes until fully set.
Slide the omelette onto a clean plate or cutting board. Let it rest for a minute before slicing and serving. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold. Enjoy your authentic Spanish omelette!
