SPANISH POTATO FRITTATA

They say that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that you should eat Breakfast like a King! Well, they, whoever they are, were right, especially that part of "Eat breakfast like a King" If you are going to eat Breakfast like a King, you might as well eat it like the King of a Foreign country, like say Spanish King? So enough ramblings, my recipe today is what I like to call Spanish Potato Frittata. I have another egg recipe that you might like to try, but I am so excited about today's recipe. Full of goodness, color and flavors.From sweet, from the Bell Peppers to spice, from the Fire Ball Pepper, all coming together to live in harmony in your mouth. Before we begin here are some tidbits about Eggs. Eggs have very few calories, they have high quality protein, Vitamins, Minerals, Iron and Carotenoids. Don't worry about all those nutritional words all you need to know is that having Eggs for breakfast is a good way to jump start and revamp your morning. A Breakfast with Eggs helps you sustain your mental and physical energy throughout the day. Need any other reason to have this wonderful protein Rich Breakfast? I think not!

Ingredients

2 Cups Potatoes cubed
3 Eggs
1 Red Onions
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Bell Pepper
1 Bunch Corriander
2 Tablespoon Cooking Oil
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper

Method
-In a Non Stick Skillet, put your Red Onions and add a Table spoon of oil and begin to saute the Onions. Cook until the onions become translucent and begin to turn brown in color

Add the Chopped Potatoes in the Non Stick Skillet

-Mix well with the sauteed Red Onions and add Salt and Pepper to taste

-Cook the Potatoes until they begin to brown. Since we will not be cooking the Potatoes again, taste to see whether they are well done

-Add the Red Bell Pepper and Yellow Bell Pepper to the mix after tasting that the Potatoes are cooked but not too soft so that they can hold their shape in the Frittata

-Keep turning the mixture until the Bell Peppers begin to soften,you do not want them to be overcooked so this should only take a few seconds just to coat all the flavors together

-Add chopped Cilantro to your beaten Eggs and mix together before adding to the Vegetable mixture. Toss the mixture gently so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Turn down the heat and let the Egg cook through, you can lift the side to check whether the bottom has browned and is cooking well

-Once you have confirmed that the bottom is cooked well, you will see that even the top is becoming firm. Take a flat plate, cover the Skillet with it and turn it upside down so that the Frittata lands on the plate. Gently slide the Frittata back to the Skillet so that the uncooked part is on the bottom of the Skillet and it can also cook through

-A few more minutes and the Frittata should be done. I insist on cooking with a non-stick Pan/Skillet so that it is easier to remove the Frittata from the pan without any hustle. Slide your Frittata from the Skillet/ Pan and it should turn out something like this. Do not worry that the shape is not perfect, as long as the Spanish Frittata is well cooked you've won!

-Cut a piece from the Bell Pepper Spanish Frittata to reveal all its delicious and colorful components; the Onions, Potatoes, Red Bell Pepper, Yellow Bell Pepper and Parsley.
