Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes (about 1/2-inch). Dice the onion and red bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and cooked through. Transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, stir to combine, and sprinkle in the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables with the seasoning.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until fully beaten. Pour the eggs over the vegetable mixture in the skillet.
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs as they cook, making sure they don't stick to the bottom. Cook the eggs slowly over medium-low heat until they are just set but still creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust with more salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your Spanish Scrambled Eggs!
