Spanish potato omelette

Ingredients
3 russet potatoes (1 1/2 lb. total)
1 medium onion
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Cooking Instructions
Peel potatoes and onion. Quarter each lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick
slices.
Heat a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick frying pan over high heat and add all but 1 teaspoon
olive oil. When oil just starts to smoke, add potatoes and onion. Stir, turning vegetables
to coat with oil. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently turn vegetables often until potatoes
are tender when pierced, 15 to 20 minutes.
Preheat broiler. In a large bowl, beat eggs with salt and stir in potato mixture.
Drizzle remaining 1 teaspoon oil over bottom of frying pan (no need to wash) and return to
medium-low heat. When pan is hot, add potato-egg mixture, spreading evenly. Cook until
bottom is set and golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
Set pan under broiler about 4 inches from heat and broil, rotating pan as needed to cook
evenly, until egg sets and lightly browns, about 3 minutes. Cover pan with a large plate;
holding the two together tightly, invert. Lift pan off. Serve omelet warm or at room
temperature, cut into wedges
