Potato Olé Omelet

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch cubes (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook at a low boil until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper, and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Combine the cooked vegetables, eggs, potatoes, salt and pepper in a large bowl and stir to combine.
  4. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the egg mixture back into the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the omelet turns golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Preheat the broiler to high. Place the skillet under the broiler (if the handle is plastic, wrap it in aluminum foil). Broil until the top turns golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.
