Brown potatoes in olive oil. Drain. Whip egg yolks a little bit, add all

about double in volume (a foamy liquid) . Fold egg whites gently into rest
of mixture. Pour into a buttered, pre-heated omelet pan. Cook gently until
almost set. Keep sliding the pan back and forth so that the omelet doesn't
stick. Remove pan from stovetop. Place under pre-heated broiler. Cook until
top is browned to your liking. Remove from oven, slide omelet onto plate
and eat.

tortilla is an egg dish, not like a Mexican tortilla. Use only as much
olive oil as needed to brown the potatoes.
