Cook until lightly browned, turning and stirring occasionally, about 10-15 minutes. While potatoes are cooking, heat 1 Tbl olive oil in another skillet and cook the chopped onion till it starts to brown lightly. When onions are cooked, add to potatoes, stir, cover and cook until the potatoes are cooked through. In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat egg whites and whole eggs to combine. Drain the oil from the potato and onion mixture, add to the egg mixture, and stir to combine thoroughly. Using the same skillet, with enough oil remaining to prevent sticking, cook the egg, potato, and onion over low heat till almost cooked through. Finish cooking under the broiler to set the top (about 6" from the heating element). Slice into wedges and serve with toast.
