Essential Ingredients- 1 potato
- 1/4 onion
- 1/4 bell pepper
- 3 eggs
- 1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- Pinch of olive oil
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.) to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the main ingredients: potato, onion, and bell pepper. Wash them thoroughly. Peel the potato if desired, or wash it well. Remove the seeds from the onion and bell pepper. Dice all the vegetables into small cubes, about 0.5 cm on each side, slightly smaller than bite-sized. Cutting them this small ensures they cook evenly and have a pleasant texture.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Add the diced potato, onion, and bell pepper, and sauté until the vegetables are tender and the potato becomes translucent. This process helps to soften the vegetables before adding them to the egg mixture. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a separate bowl and let them cool slightly. Cooling them prevents the eggs from cooking prematurely when mixed.
Step 3
In a bowl, crack the 3 fresh eggs. Add 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined. Gently fold in the cooled sautéed vegetables. Mix gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed without overmixing.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to cook the tortilla. Generously grease a non-stick pan with olive oil and preheat it over medium-low heat. Carefully pour half of the egg and vegetable mixture into the preheated pan, spreading it evenly to form a base. Once the bottom starts to set slightly, sprinkle your desired shredded cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella) over the partially cooked mixture. Then, gently pour the remaining half of the batter over the cheese, covering it completely. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and cook slowly until the center is set. Cooking on low heat with a lid ensures the tortilla cooks through without burning.
Step 5
When the bottom side is golden brown and the edges look slightly crispy, carefully slide a large plate over the pan and confidently flip the tortilla over. Place the second side back into the pan and cook until it’s also golden brown and cooked through. Once both sides are beautifully golden and cooked, your delicious potato tortilla is ready! Serve immediately while warm.
