Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

10 ounces red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1/3-inch pieces
8 large eggs
4 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Cook potatoes in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and cool.

    Step 2

    Whisk eggs and next 5 ingredients in large bowl until well blended. Mix in potatoes. Heat oil in large ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat. Add onion; sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add egg mixture; cook 3 minutes, occasionally stirring egg from sides of skillet. Place skillet in oven and bake eggs until set in center and no longer wet on top, about 20 minutes.

    Step 3

    Remove tortilla from oven. Immediately place skillet on cold wet kitchen towel to prevent further cooking. Let stand 2 minutes. Run spatula around edge of skillet and under tortilla. Lift skillet and tilt, sliding tortilla onto platter. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cut into wedges.
