A simple but filling dinner, made with things you likely have in your fridge or pantry right now! For even more Spanish flair, try adding chopped chorizo sausage to the potatoes.

Ingredients

4 tbsp (60 mL) olive oil, divided
4 Yukon gold potatoes thinly sliced into 1/4-inch (5 mm) rounds, about 1 lb (500 g)
1 onion, very thinly sliced
2 tsp (10 mL) salt, divided
8 eggs
1 tsp (5 mL) hot sauce
1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup (175 mL) finely chopped red sweet pepper

Instructions

Heat 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil in large (12″) non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add potatoes, onion and 1 tsp (5 mL) salt and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile whisk eggs, hot sauce, parsley, and remaining salt and pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
After potatoes and onion have cooked for 10 minutes, add garlic and red pepper. Cook until potatoes are tender and onions are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add potato mixture to the bowl with eggs. Stir to combine.
Heat remaining 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add potato mixture and spread into an even layer. Cook until eggs start to set on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until almost set, 10 to 15 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge and gently shake the pan to loosen the omelette.
Place a large plate over the pan. Carefully flip the pan over so the omelette falls onto the plate. If needed, add a bit more oil to the pan. Slide omelette back into the pan and cook until bottom (which used to be the top) is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip omelette onto plate and cut into wedges to serve.
