Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced inch thick 1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced Coarse salt and ground pepper 8 large eggs 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add potatoes, bell pepper, and onion; season with salt and pepper (skillet will be very full). Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are crisp-tender, 14 to 16 minutes. Uncover, and cook off excess liquid, 1 to 2 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, parsley, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and teaspoon pepper. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in skillet, and stir to distribute evenly. With the back of a spatula, press down on vegetables so they lay flat and are submerged.

Bake until tortilla is set, 12 to 16 minutes. To unmold, run a rubber spatula around edge of skillet to release tortilla; invert onto a serving plate. Drizzle tortilla with oil; garnish with parsley.

Cook’s Notes Use a large piece of eggshell to remove any bits of shell that may have fallen into the bowl when cracking the eggs.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/23/2017   MINOUCHKA -- I love this easy and delish recipe. Made it several times. Added to the potatoes sliced asparagus or chopped spinach and a bid of shredded cheese, or whatever I had on hand as a veggie. Also it makes a great lunch or light supper w/ crusty bread on the side. MM MM GOOD!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/02/2015   At the heart of the Spanish tortilla are eggs and potatoes. So, yea, it is a potato heavy dish. This is a great variation while keeping the important potato heavy aspect, as it should be.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       11/28/2014   This recipe is a great lower-calorie alternative to a quiche or a breakfast casserole. So delicious!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/17/2013   don't eat white potatoes, so used red pepper, shallots, yellow squash. used tiny bit of sharp cheddar in eggs. perfect.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       01/14/2013   The recipe was okIt's a very potato rich dish and like others I added mushroom and I also added some spinach. It wasn't too flavorful and I think it would have been much better with cheese. This is a family dinner dish so that it can be eaten in one sitting because you will get tired of digging into it everyday! Can be used as a good side for chicken. I suggest you add what appeals your taste buds and how health conscious you are. Bacon, salsa on top, cheese, cream of mushroom all sound good.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/25/2011   Fast, easy and pretty good! And you can put in any vegetable that's in the fridge.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       08/21/2011   I've made this several times just as the recipe suggests. Everyone has loved it. Last time my grandson eyed it questionably, tasted it, and then ate about half! It must be good!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/08/2011   As earlier post, I added mushrooms to saute as well  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/08/2011   Great basic for brekkie but for dinner I added some diced garlic. a shallot (instead of onions)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/21/2010   I loved this dish; I made it for a ladies brunch. The hot sause just gives this some depth without overwhelming the dish. I didn't invert it, just cut in 6 slices, but could easily feed 8 with the side dishes. I will make this again for a quick evening meal.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/03/2010   We used spinach instead of bell pepper and we called it spinach pie. We loved it.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/01/2010   I always make tortilla plain with no onions or peppers, just potatoes. This looks nice ..Would like to give it a try.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/23/2010   Hi! Here in Spain, (i,m in Madrid and I,m Spanish) Spanish don,t use the oven, we use the fry pan with only one tablespoon olive oil. First we fry only a little the potatoes, after we mix eggs, salt and potatoes and fry them together in the frying pan with only a tablespoon fo olive oil. But I like the recipe from Martha, it,s a new style of "tortilla espa?ɬ  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/22/2010   Nice to see this. We ate it for dinner frequently when I was growing up in the 1960s - and we're Italians!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/22/2010   Just tried this and it came out beautifully. I might add some cheese next time, but it's very very good overall. I turned it around like a pie, but wouldn't do that again. It doesn't look as good from the bottom and part sticks to the pan. Next time i would just cut it out of the pan like a pizza. Great recipe idea for today, fast and easy and very filling!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/22/2010   Do recipes have a calorie count or exchange? Would be very helpful with these recipes.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/10/2010   To cut down on cooking time I slice the potato and onion put them in the microwave, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are cooked but not mushy. Cool while beating the eggs, add the eggs to potato, onion mixture, heat up a skillet with a bit of oil and cook over med heat until bubbles form on the surface. Cover the pan, invert and slide back into pan to cook through. Tastes better cooked on the stove and you can add anything. Un besito desde Chiloeches, Guadalajara, Espa?

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/05/2010   This is so easy and good. Feel free to use unpeeled potatoes as I did - I skipped that step to save time!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/15/2009   Excellent easy dish to make. Really came out good in our trusty cast-iron pan. Substantial and filling on the cheap!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/07/2009   Made this tonight - it was really good and really easy. I could have used a bit more hot sauce in it though, as I didn't taste it at all and we like our food a bit spicy. Took a bit longer than 16 minutes to firm up. This one's a keeper!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/02/2009   This is just delicious! I made it with egg whites and it set up beautifully. My husband loved it and he isn't a fan of "breakfast for dinner" but this was a hit This was inexpensive and fast, perfect weeknight meal.
