900G (2 lbs) Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick 1
3/4 teasp salt, divided use 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablesp extra virgin
olive oil, divided use 1 cup chopped yellow onions 1/3 cup chopped
red bell peppers 1/3 cup chopped green peppers 1/2 cup diced
choriizo sausage 1 cup diced Serrano ha 10 large eggs
Toss
together the sliced potatoes and 1 teasp salt in a medium bowl. Heat
1/2 cup olive oil in a large heavy non stick or well seasoned cast iron
skillet over medium heat and add the potatoes. Cook stirring
occasionally, until the potatoes start to soften but not brown, about 5
minutes. Add the onions, peppers, sausage, and ham. Continue to
cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are tender, the chorizo cooked
through, and the ingredients well blended, another 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer
the potato and onion mixture to a colander placed over a large bowl and
drain. Clean the pan. Beat the eggs in a large bowl until smooth,
then stir in the potato mixture. Season with 3/4 teasp salt. Return
the pan to medium heat and add 2 tablesp of olive oil. When the oil
is very hot, add the egg mixture to the pan. Tilt the pan so that
the eggs run over the bottom of the pan in an even layer, then turn the
heat to low. Cook, shaking the pan from time to time until the omelet
has set, about 8 minutes. Cover the pan with an omelet turner or
flat bottomed pot lid. Then carefully slide the inverted omelet back
into the pan. Return to the heat and cook the other side until
lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Slide the omelet out onto a plate.
Allow to cool to room temperature, cut into 8 wedges to serve.
