  2. Then after add onions for 15 minutes. Then after 15 minutes, or more, potatoes and onions should be done. Then remove the heat. Use a strainer (wire mesh) to pour olive oil into a bowl.
  3. In a bowl whip eggs.  Then add onions and potatoes to the same bowl.  Now put the onion, potato and eggs back in the pan. Add salt and pepper. Turn on LOW. Leave on one hour.
