Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Set them aside.
Cut the Almagro eggplants into small cubes. Slice the red bell pepper and chop the onion finely. Mince the garlic.
Heat 25 ml of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden.
Add the onions, garlic, red bell pepper, and Almagro eggplants to the pan. Season with half of the salt and pepper, and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring very gently to avoid breaking the potatoes.
While the vegetables are cooking, whisk the eggs in a large bowl with the remaining salt and pepper.
Add the cooked vegetables to the eggs and mix well. Let the mixture stand for a couple of minutes to absorb the flavors.
Wipe the pan clean and add the remaining olive oil. Heat it over medium-low.
Pour the egg and vegetable mixture back into the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny.
Place a large, flat plate over the pan. Carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate, then slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for about 5 minutes.
Once cooked, slide the tortilla onto a serving platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
