Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion. Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and season with half of the salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until fully combined. Add the remaining salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture over the potato and vegetable mixture in the skillet, making sure the eggs spread evenly.

Step 7

Cook for 8-10 minutes on low heat until the edges of the omelet are set but the center is still slightly runny.

Step 8

Carefully slide the skillet under a preheated broiler or into the oven (set to broil) and cook until the top is fully set and golden, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the omelet from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use a spatula to gently loosen the edges and slide the omelet onto a serving plate.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before slicing and serving. Serve hot or at room temperature.
