Ingredients

• 3 pcs large potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pc large onion, diced
• 1 pc bell pepper (red or green), diced
• 2 pcs garlic cloves, minced
• 6 pcs large eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
• 1 cup cheddar or Manchego cheese, shredded (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and dice them into small, even cubes (around 1/2 inch).

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 6

Gently fold the cooked potatoes and sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture. If using cheese, fold in half of it now.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top if desired.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the omelet is set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
