Steps:

• Preheat the oven in broiler mode and place a rack 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 centimeters) below the heating element.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 cup (25 grams) of the Parmesan cheese.
• Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, then toss with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 9 minutes total, or until fork tender.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and the butter over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch (25-centimeter) omelet pan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss gently so that the potatoes don't break apart.

• Once the frittata is mostly set, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the heat and let the tortilla rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with some sour cream, if desired.
