Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 3 potatoes (600 gr)
• 1 small onion
• 1 green pepper
• 2 glasses of oliva oil
• salt
• 1 leaf of parsley

Steps

1. Peel and chop the onion into medium dice. Clean the green pepper, remove the stem and the seeds and cut it into cubes.
2. If the potatoes are dirty, pass them through water. Peel them, cut them in half lengthwise, then cut each piece into thin 1/2-inch half moons.
3. Put everything in the pan, season to your liking and fry over low heat for 25-30 minutes.
4. Remove the fry and drain it. Pass the oil to a container and reserve it. Clean the pan with absorbent kitchen paper.
5. Crack the eggs, place them in a large bowl, and beat. Salt them to your liking, add the fried potatoes, onion and pepper and mix well.
6. Place the pan back on the heat, add a drizzle of the reserved oil, and add the mixture. Stir a little with a wooden spoon and wait (20 seconds) for it to start to curdle.
7. Separate the edges, cover the pan with a plate that is larger in diameter than the pan, and flip it over.
8. Throw it again so that it curdles on the other side.
