Cómo preparar Tortilla Espanola Spanish Omelet

Peel and thinly slice 1 lb potatoes and 1/2 medium yellow onion.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onion, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 6 ounces diced ham.
Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the potato and ham mixture to the skillet. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden, stirring occasionally.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes and ham in the skillet.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are almost set but still slightly moist on top.
Preheat your broiler.
Uncover the skillet and place it under the broiler 3-4 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and set.
Let the tortilla cool slightly before slicing and serving with warmed corn or flour tortillas.
