Add olive oil to a 9-inch (23cm) skillet, heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add sliced potatoes and fry for 2-3 minutes, then add sliced onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Do not overcook.
Drain the potatoes and reserve the oil. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl beat the eggs with salt. Add potato and onion and toss to coat. Let mixture sit for about 20 minutes.
