Ingredients
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 8 eggs
- 12 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained
- 5 oz softened goat cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Add oil and butter to a 9-inch cast-iron skillet. Turn the heat on medium and when the butter melts, add potatoes, onions and salt. Saute potatoes and onions for 7-8 minutes, stirring often until slightly softened. Cover with a lid and let the vegetables steam for 4-5 minutes. Take the lid off and stir to make sure the potatoes aren't sticking, keep doing this until the potatoes are almost fork-tender, another 3-4 minutes.
- While the potatoes continue to cook, add eggs to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, gently rearrange them in the pan so they are flush and layered in the pan. Pour the eggs on top and use a spatula to gently let the eggs nestle into the eggs. Continue to cook as you would a frittata by tilting the pan and using your spatula to let the uncooked egg fall behind the cooked egg. Once the eggs are starting to set after 1-2 minutes, put the pan in oven. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 20 minutes.
- While the eggs cook, add red peppers and goat cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Let tortilla cool for 15-20 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm, at room temperature or cold. Spoon sauce on top and garnish with chopped chives.
