Steps:
- Peel and cut the onion. The size depends on how you like it, I recommend making julienne cuts. Put it in a pan with olive oil and cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown (do not let it caramelize).
- In the meantime wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into irregular cubes although you can also cut them in the way that seems most comfortable (slices, stick, etc.)
- In another pan, put enough oil to cover the potatoes and fry them. This will help you cook evenly and not be hard when you want to make the tortilla. Fry until soft but without getting toasted on the outside.
- When the onions are ready, take them to a bowl. When the potatoes are ready, pat them dry with absorbent paper to remove the excess oil and take it to the same bowl with the onions.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and pepper, just enough so that they become a homogeneous mixture.
- Now take a pan (about 24 cm in diameter) and heat a little oil (a couple of tablespoons is enough). Put the potatoes and onions, spread them well and add the egg mixture.
- Cook for a few minutes over medium heat until the egg is cooked. Halfway through make sure to flip the tortilla, something you can do with the help of a plate, to make sure everything cooks evenly and nothing burns.
- Once everything is cooked and has a golden color, you can serve it warm.

Steps:

- Add the bacon back to the pan, add eggs.
- Cover with lid and cook on LOW until the eggs are set, perhaps 10 minutes more. Garnish with parsley.

- Be sure not to overcook, it will get rubbery! Eggs cook themselves even after they are off the heat, as I'm sure you know.

TORTILLA DE PATATA (SPANISH POTATO OMELET)
There are so many versions of this emblematic tapa that can be found all over Spain. I know, because I eat my own weight in them, wherever I go! Every region and household have their own special way of preparing this dish and it can get quite controversial as to which is the true, authentic Tortilla de Patata in Spain. This is my favorite make-at-home version adapted from many different recipes over the years. Some recipes don't call for onions but I love the sweetness and depth of flavor that caramelized onions give to the dish. It's a stunning but simple combination of flavors and textures. If you have any left over, this tortilla is also fantastic sliced into thin slices and stuffed into a fresh baguette with aioli, a homemade garlic mayonnaise , and some mild, small green peppers, either fried in olive oil, or roasted and peeled and sprinkled with some fine flaked sea salt.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil to medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potato slices, season with salt and cook over low and slow heat until the potatoes are softened and lightly golden brown around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes, gently shaking the pan from time to time to prevent the potato slices from sticking. When the potatoes are ready, reserve 2 tablespoons of the olive oil from the skillet (now infused with the flavor of those onions and potatoes) and drain the potatoes in a colander or on a paper towel.
- Beat the eggs with a generous pinch of salt in a large bowl for about 1 minute. Add the drained caramelized potatoes and onions and stir with a fork to lightly break up the potatoes (this will give the finished Tortilla de Patata a wonderful light fluffy texture). Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of the reserved olive oil in the same skillet until very hot. Pour in the egg and potato mixture and cook on one side, gently shaking the pan occasionally, until the underside is set and very lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using a plate to cover the pan, carefully invert the omelet onto the plate and then gently slide the omelet back into the pan to cook on the other side until just set and light golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Do not overcook. This Tortilla de Patata is best when barely runny in the very center. Serve immediately with some slices of fresh baguette, or make ahead to serve later in the day at room temperature. Enjoy!
