Simply Potatoes

March 29, 2012 By Beth

We recently had the opportunity to try out Simply Potatoes.  What seems like just a simple bag of potatoes is actually a huge time saver on a busy weeknight.  We opened up a bag of potatoes, tossed in some pre-cooked veggies, and poured some eggs over the whole thing.  A little cooking and one flip later and a pretty healthy dinner was ready to go.  Here’s what we did.

Spanish Vegetable Tortilla

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 package Simply Potatoes Hash Browns or Diced Potatoes, any variety
1-2 cups chopped, cooked vegetables (onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc)
6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add potatoes and vegetables and cook, covered, 5 minutes or until potatoes begin to soften.  Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and cook another 5 minutes or until potatoes are lightly browned.

While vegetables are cooking, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy.  Once vegetables are cooked, poor egg mixture over vegetables and stir lightly with a spatula.  Allow to cook until edges are set and lightly brown.  Ensure that the bottom is not sticking by using a spatula to slide down under the eggs.  When the whole thing slides freely around the bottom of the pan, place a plate over the pan, hold on tight, pray, and flip the tortilla onto the plate.  Slide it back into the pan to cook and set on the other side.

Serve in wedges along with a side salad.  Enjoy!
