2. Thinly slice the onion and sauté it in a non-stick pan with half the oil over medium heat for 5 minutes until translucent.
3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the grated Grana Padano, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley.
4. Add the steamed potatoes and the sautéed onions to the egg mixture, stirring gently.
5. Heat the remaining oil in the same pan, then pour in the egg and potato mixture.
6. Cook covered over low heat for 6-7 minutes, then carefully flip the tortilla using a lid.
7. Cook for another 3-4 minutes without the lid until golden on both sides.

Tips

• Serve at room temperature with a fresh green salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
• The potatoes can be prepared in advance to speed up the process on busy days.
