delicioso! :)

Ingredients:


6-7 medium potatoes, peel em off
1 whole Onion
1 Chilli, green & cut
5-6 large eggs
2-3 cups of Oil for pan frying
Salt to taste
Oregano (The pack from Dominoes pizza would be best, if you have them)




How to Cook :


1. Peel the potatoes and slice them julianne or infact into finer bits (Be careful not to shred them )


2. Cut the onion in a similar fashion


3. Crack the eggs into a whisking tumbler and keep them aside for later whisk & pour


4. In a large, heavy, non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil on medium high heat. Carefully place the potato, chilli and onion mixture into the frying pan, spreading them evenly over the surface. The oil should almost cover the potatoes
Check regularly. The potatoes should be able to break when pressurized through the spatula. Add salt to taste


5. Whisk the eggs using a fork or spoon. Add the heated potatoes chilli and onion mixture. You may have to add a pinch of salt if necessary. Add the oregano as well and whisk


6. Pur 1-2 tsp of oil to a frying pan. Let it simmer for a few seconds. When hot, stir the potato onion mixture once more and “pour” into the pan and spread out evenly. Allow the egg to cook around the edges. Then you can carefully lift up one side of the omelet to check if the egg has slightly “browned.” The inside of the mixture should not be completely cooked and the egg will still be runny.


7. Turn it over and allow it to cook the other side.


8. Serve it on a plate. Cut it into pizza style pieces before service
