Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) olive oil
- 2 large (or 4 medium) Russet baking potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 yellow onion (chopped)
- 1 and 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 8 eggs
- 16 oz (454 g) jar roasted red peppers (drained)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 lemon juice
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) olive oil
- 1 cups (142 g) walnuts
- green onion (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in an oven-safe skillet.
- Add the potato slices and onion. Fry, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook until potatoes are tender but not browned (20-25 minutes).
- Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs and combine the cooked potatoes with the eggs; stir.
- Spread the egg-coated potatoes into the remaining oil in the skillet.
- Heat on medium-low and cook, shaking the pan frequently and/or stirring frequently, being careful not to break potatoes, until the mixture begins to set (about 12 minutes).
- Place the pan in the oven and broil on low for 6 minutes (approx. 325°F (163°C)).
- Remove and cover the skillet with a plate; using oven mitts, carefully invert the omelette onto the plate.
- Allow to cool, then cut it into 8 even wedges.
- Season with salt, if needed, and roasted red pepper sauce.
- Top with chopped green onion.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a smoother tortilla, use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes slightly before adding them to the eggs.
- To make the red pepper sauce ahead of time, blend the roasted red peppers, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil until smooth. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you don’t have walnuts, substitute with toasted slivered almonds or pumpkin seeds for added crunch.
