How to Make Roast Potato Tortilla

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 19cm x 30cm baking pan and line the base and sides with baking paper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as oregano or thyme), 2 cups of cubed roast potatoes, 1/2 cup corn kernels, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, until heated through.
  4. Spread the potato mixture evenly over the base of the prepared baking pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs. Pour the eggs over the potato mixture and sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, or your favorite).
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Let the tortilla stand in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing it and slicing.
  8. Serve warm or cold with a mixed green salad and crusty bread. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
