Heat @olive oil{1/2%cup} in a #large skillet{} over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 of the @baking potatoes{2%pounds}(peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices), and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, ~{15-20%minutes}. Transfer potatoes to a #large bowl{}, leaving oil in the #skillet{}. Add remaining potatoes to the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, ~{15-20%minutes}. Transfer potatoes to the #bowl{}, reserving oil in the skillet. Season potatoes with @salt{to taste} and @pepper{to taste}.

Meanwhile, heat @olive oil{2%tablespoons} in a separate skillet over medium heat. Stir in @onions{2}(sliced into rings), and gently cook until soft and golden brown, about ~{15%minutes}. Spoon onions onto a #plate{}, and allow to cool.

Whisk @large eggs{6} in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in cooled onions, @roasted red pepper{1}(drained and cut into strips), and @Spanish serrano ham{3%ounces}(chopped). Gently fold in cooked potatoes.

Loosen tortilla with a #spatula{} if needed, then carefully slide onto a #large plate{}. Turn the skillet upside down and place onto the uncooked side of tortilla.
