• Black pepper
• Olive oil

Instructions

1. Finely dice the onion and set aside.
2. Halve, quarter, and thinly slice the potatoes (about 2mm thick).
3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened.
4. Add the sliced potatoes to the pan, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not browned.
6. In a bowl, beat the eggs, milk and season with salt and pepper.
