Ingredients

2 red peppers
3 medium potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
8 eggs
100g feta cheese

Method

Set your grill to its highest setting. Arrange the peppers on a baking tray and position them roughly 5cm from the heat element. Grill for 10-15 mins, turning them with tongs whenever one side blackens, until the skins are completely charred. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover it, and allow them to cool. Once cool, peel off the skins with your fingers. Halve the peppers, use a knife to scrape out the seeds and discard the stems, then slice them into thick strips. Set these aside.
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into rounds. Add half the olive oil and all the potato slices to a large non-stick frying pan. Place the pan over a very low heat. Cook the potatoes gently for 10-15 mins. they should only be sizzling softly. Turn them occasionally with a wooden spatula during cooking. They are done when tender and beginning to fall apart. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set them aside.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, season them, and whisk until fully combined. Stir the cooked potatoes and pepper strips into the beaten eggs. Place the frying pan back on a low heat with the remaining oil. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook gently for about 5 mins. Use a wooden spatula to draw the cooked edges of the egg towards the centre. Take the pan off the heat.
Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the surface of the tortilla. Position the pan under the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 mins until the top is set and no longer wobbles, and the cheese has taken on some colour. Let the tortilla rest for a few minutes. Finally, use the spatula to help lift it out onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges before serving.
