Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until they are translucent and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

3
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt. Add the cooked potatoes and onions to the bowl and stir to combine.
4
Pour the egg mixture back into the skillet and cook over medium heat until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
