Use the mandoline to slice the potatoes and onions thinly. Put the slices into a bowl and toss with a little salt and pepper.
6 medium red skinned potatoes, 2 large onions, ½ teaspoon salt, black pepper, ground
Heat the oil in a 12" skillet. Add the potatoes and onion slices and saute gently for 15 minutes, turning frequently until softened. Spread evenly in pan and reduce heat to very low.
¼ cup olive oil
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat until mixed. Pour over the potato & onion mixture in the skillet. Cover, and cook on low for 15 minutes or until the top has set.
6 eggs
Transfer the tortilla to a serving plate, garnish with some paprika and chopped parsley or any other garnish you prefer.

Notes

Use a simple Mandoline to quickly slice your potatoes and onions.
A fitted lid will make cooking the top of this tortilla easier than trying to flip such a large omelet. You can then easily slide it onto the serving platter.
