### **Instructions:**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes and Onions**
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced potatoes and onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

#### **Step 2: Beat the Eggs**
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (if using) until well combined.
2. Stir in half of the shredded cheese and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

#### **Step 3: Combine and Cook**
1. Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the potatoes and onions.
2. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortilla is mostly set but still slightly runny on top.

#### **Step 4: Flip and Finish**
1. To flip the tortilla, carefully slide it onto a large plate. Place the skillet upside down over the plate and flip the tortilla back into the skillet.
2. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, uncovered, to fully set the tortilla and melt the cheese.
