Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the onion into small pieces.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 7 minutes until soft.
- 3
Add the thinly sliced potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 13 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. If needed, cook 1–2 minutes longer until fully cooked.
- 4
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- 5
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the cooked potatoes and onions, and mix well.
- 6
Line a baking sheet (about 9 x 15 inches or 24 x 38 cm) with parchment paper. Spread the egg and potato mixture evenly over the surface. Bake for 7–8 minutes, or until set, then remove from the oven.
- 7
Preheat the oven broiler to 480°F (250°C).
- 8
Lay the slices of ham and cheese over the omelette, then arrange the roasted red pepper strips along one short end. Using the parchment paper to help, roll up the omelette starting from the end with the peppers, like a jelly roll. Return to the oven for a few minutes to brown. Let cool slightly, then slice and serve.

[Spanish Cuisine] Potato Omelette [Spanish Cuisine] Potato Omelette
This is a variation of a recipe that I learnt whilst I was living in Spain. Normally you would fry the potato, but I heat them in the microwave to reduce calories. I also changed the technique for mashing the potatoes. Even with all the adjustments, these omelettes will come out tasting very good.In Step 4, see how the mixture looks, then decide whether you need to use a 5th egg. If there is too much potato and not enough egg, then you will get a crumbly omelette, Or, if you add too much egg, the potato will float to the top. I recommend cooking these omelettes until they're half-cooked, i.e. not completely cooked through to the middle. Recipe by Bakaryau cookpad.japan -

Tortilla De Patatas (Spanish Omelette) Tortilla De Patatas (Spanish Omelette)
This is one of the most classic (and easiest) Spanish recipes. Every family does it in its own way, so this is my mom's style (the best, of course!). It makes a smart use of onion to sweeten it without feeling its crunchiness, plus some other tricks to make it look great.Note: as this is a big omelette, it usually cooks faster and easier on gas stoves. If you're using an electric or induction stove it might require around 30 minutes of extra heating for steps 9 to 14. Chema -

I grew up in Buenos Aires eating this Spanish omelet at lunchtime, especially in a sandwich with mayonnaise and lettuce. One can add scallions or sausage to it. I’ve seen it stuffed with ham and cheese too. But this simple version is the most traditional and way Penélope Cruz makes it in Almodóvar’s “Parallel Mothers”.#tortilla #patatas #potatoes #omelet #omelette #eggs #Spanish #Spain #lunch #supper #breakfast #dinner #easy #simple Ricardo -

Please refer to my "Potato Omelette []" for instructions on how to flip the omelette over with a plate. Recipe by Bakaryau cookpad.japan
