Ingredient List

  • 1x Old El Paso Roasted Tomato & Pepper Seasoning Mix
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 white onion, cut into thin strips
  • 3x eggs, beaten
  • Handful of fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

TO SERVE

  • Old El Paso Soured Cream or Thick N’ Chunky Salsa (optional)

Preparation

  1. Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large, shallow frying pan.
  2. Add your peeled and cubed potatoes, red pepper and white onion to the pan and cook for 15 minutes, until the potato is cooked through and the veggies are soft.
  3. Add in the Old El Paso Roasted Tomato & Pepper Seasoning Mix with a splash of water and cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
  4. Remove from the pan and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  5. In the meantime, beat 3x eggs with salt and pepper to taste and chopped chives. Once slightly cooled, add in the potato mixture and combine well.
  6. Melt the remaining tbsp of butter in the frying pan and add the omelette mixture back into the pan on a medium heat.
  7. Cook for 4-5 minutes with a lid on to steam the eggs. Remove the lid and flip the omelette, cooking for a further 2-3 minutes on the other side.
  8. Transfer to a chopping board and cut into 6 equal slices.
  9. Serve with the freshly chopped herbs and Old El Paso Soured Cream or Thick N’ Chunky Salsa (optional).

Expert Tips

  • If required, pour in 50ml of water during step 2 and place a lid on the pan to help cook the potatoes through. Ensure all water is absorbed or evaporated before combining with the egg mixture.
