Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (45 ml)
- 3 medium-sized potatoes
- 6 cage-free organic eggs
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 green bell pepper
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup shredded Manchego cheese (21 grams)
- Dash of sweet smoked Spanish paprika
- Handful of finely chopped chives
- Pinch of sea salt
- Dash of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C) with both bake and broil options on. This ensures the potatoes get that perfect crispy texture.
- Cut the potatoes into small 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) pieces. Place them in a bowl, drizzle with 1 tbsp (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Toss to coat.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until golden and crispy. The parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- While the potatoes are baking, finely dice the onion, roughly chop the garlic, and finely chop the green and red bell peppers. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with sea salt and black pepper, and whisk together.
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion, chopped bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for about 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the pan with the vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked. Remove from heat. Be careful not to overcook the eggs, as they should be soft and slightly creamy.
- Once the potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving dish. Top with the egg mixture. Shred 1/4 cup Manchego cheese over the top, sprinkle with sweet smoked paprika, and garnish with finely chopped chives. Serve and enjoy!

- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding some chopped chorizo or serrano ham to the sautéed vegetables.
- If you prefer your potatoes even crispier, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
- This dish is also fantastic with a side of fresh salsa or a dollop of aioli for dipping the potatoes.
