Heat a nonstick frying pan with a low heat (you might need to use a low-medium heat, depending on the size of your burner) and add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, after 2 minutes add the potato and egg mixture into the pan, using a spoon make sure everything is evenly distributed, shake the pan once in a while to make sure your omelette is not sticking to the pan

After cooking for 4-5 minutes it´s time to flip the omelette to cook the other side, grab another nonstick frying pan that is bigger than the one cooking the omelette, place it on top and flip the pans, this is an easy way to flip the omelette without any of the egg mixture going all over the place, compact the omelette with a spatula through the outer edges, this will give it that classic rounded edge, cook for another 4-5 minutes, after cooking for a total of about 9-10 minutes remove from the pan and garnish with fresh parsley, enjoy!
