Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 90 ml
  • 2 red onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 2 potatoes
  • 6 large eggs
  • sea salt & black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a 10-inch (25 cm) nonstick fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

  2. After a couple of minutes, add in the sliced red onions and sliced red bell pepper, mix together, then mix every 1 to 2 minutes

  3. In the meantime, cut the potatoes (peeled) into 1/4 inch thick (0.625 cm) bite-sized pieces

  4. After about 5 minutes and the red onions and red bell pepper are lightly sautéed, add in the sliced potatoes, mix together, then mix every 2 to 3 minutes so everything evenly sautes

  5. In the meantime, crack the eggs into a large bowl, season with salt & pepper, and whisk together

  6. Once the potatoes are just cooked through, about 20 minutes (you can always pierce them with a toothpick to ensure they are done), season with salt & pepper and mix together, then remove the pan from the heat

  7. Transfer the mixture into the bowl with the whisked eggs, making sure to reserve any of the olive oil in the pan, and mix together until well mixed and let it rest for 3 to 4 minutes

  8. In the meantime, heat the same fry pan with a low-medium heat

  9. After 3 to 4 minutes, add in the egg and potato mixture, making sure it's coating the entire surface and in a flat layer, cook for 2 to 3 minutes without mixing

  10. To flip the omelette, use a plate that is slightly smaller than the pan, place it over the omelette and in one swift move, flip the pan onto the plate, then slide the omelette back into the pan, and compact it from the outer edges towards the center, and go for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through

  11. Transfer into a serving dish, serve warm, at room temperature, or even chilled, enjoy!
