Ingredients:
3-4 eggs

Drain the potato and onion mix and keep it aside in a bowl to cool. Put aside the oil for further use. In the meantime, check the potatoes for salt and season if needed.
Crack the eggs in another bowl and beat them properly. Add 1/2 tsp salt to it. Then, pour the eggs into the potato and onion mix. Toss the mix properly so that the potatoes and onions are fully coated.
Add a little bit of oil to a shallow frying pan or a skillet. Once the oil is hot, pour the egg, potato and onion mixture into it. Cook for a few minutes, then flip it over.
Take off from the heat once fully cooked. Serve the tortilla de patatas warm.
