Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Rinse them under cold water, then pat dry with a clean towel.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and spread them out into an even layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are tender and slightly golden. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and soft.
Add the chopped asparagus to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Remove from heat and set the vegetable mixture aside.
Drain the canned tuna and flake it with a fork in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Stir in the cooked potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and flaked tuna.
Return the skillet to medium-low heat and lightly grease with a bit more olive oil, if necessary. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the skillet. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Cook the omelet for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown. To cook the top, carefully flip the omelet onto a large plate, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side for an additional 5 minutes.
Once fully cooked, slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing into 6 wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad or crusty bread, if desired.
