Spanish Omelette

* 4 medium-sized potatoes - peeled and thinly sliced
* 6 eggs
* 1 onion
* chopped
* 1 green pepper - chopped
* 1/4 litre olive oil
* salt

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and then gently fry the sliced potatoes until almost soft, stirring from time to time so that they don't burn on the bottom of the pan. Add the onion and the green pepper and continue frying until all the vegetables are soft. Drain the vegetables in a colander to get rid of the excess oil.

Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the potatoes, etc. and mix well and check seasoning.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan on a moderate heat. Pour in the potatoes and eggs and shake the frying pan from time to time so that the omelette doesn't stick to the bottom. Once the bottom of the omelette has set, turn the heat down low and cover the pan.

After about ten minutes, turn the omelette by placing either a flat plate or saucepan lid on the frying pan and quickly turning over. Gently slide the omelette back into the frying pan and continue frying, once again shaking the pan from time to time so that it doesn't stick to the bottom, until it has set all the way through.

Thankyou very much, my mouth is watering :-)
As above but real spanish omelette does not contain green pepper.
-- answer removed --
Well I add green and red pepper and some garlic. I don't care if it's authentic or not, it certainly tastes better!!
I think Figure's recipe is brilliant - and can be easily adapted for those who don't want peppers.... the technique is spot on btw...
Mine's not authentic at all but i just:
- Fry some chopped onion in a large frypan
- Add some boiled cooled potatoes and fry until they start to colour
- Add some peas or any other veg that you like
- Then add some beaten egg over the top and keep it on a medium heat until it sets, stick it under the grill if it's not setting as well as you want!
