Spanish Omelette - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 large eggs (4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs,this can vary depending on your specific diet)
    1/2 potato, peeled and sliced around 1/2 cm thick (ideally a waxy one like Jersey Royals)
    1/4 medium onion, diced
    1/2 red pepper, chopped
    3 chives, sprigs chopped
    1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation
    To soften the potatoes you have a few choices, microwave is the quickest (1-2 minutes), steam (4 minutes) or boil (6 -7 minutes) until just cooked through and drain well.
    In a pan, add the oil on a low to medium heat and cook the onions until they soften (2 minutes).
    Add the peppers and potatoes to the pan, season with salt and pepper and cook for another 5 minutes.
    Add the egg mixture into a jug and beat with a fork. Add the chives and season this with a generous amount of pepper and a pinch of salt.
    Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture in to the pan. Stir to even out the vegetables in the mixture.
    Cook for 6-8 minutes with the lid on until almost set and golden brown underneath.
    To finish put the frying pan under the grill leaving the handle outside the oven. After 1 or 2 minutes your dish is good to go.
    The beauty about this dish is that it can be eaten cold or kept and re-heated at a later time, while still tasting just as great.
