Method

  1. Slice the potatoes into thin rounds about 1/2 cm thick. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a medium non-stick frying pan (about 25cm across), then add the potatoes and season. Cover and cook gently for 10 minutes, stirring now and again, until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, put the peppers into a blender, add the vinegar, 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, the spices, garlic and some seasoning and whizz to a smooth sauce.
  3. Heat the grill to high. Scatter the onions over the potatoes, then pour the eggs over and shake the pan to distribute them evenly. Leave the tortilla to cook for about 8 minutes, shaking the pan regularly, until the eggs are almost set. Flash the pan under the grill for 1-2 minutes to finish cooking then serve in wedges with salad and the sauce.

    A very nice light midweek meal. I used about half the sweet potato suggested and slice it thinner so that it spread further and cooked faster which worked a treat. I also used 7 eggs instead of 8 and a 28cm pan which meant it was slightly thinner than the picture but there was still plenty to go around. I roasted my own peppers for the sauce which was punchy and flavoursome. Overall a nice little dinner, having some of the leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

    So yummy and easy to make - I added red chillies and crumbled feta to the tortilla which worked really well.

    Loved this recipe, added red onions in with the sweet potato and worked well. Prefer this to more traditional tortilla with potatoes.

    delicious! I added feta cheese and chilli to the sauce which was fabulous. The tortilla was lovely and having done it once, I'll be a great base to adapt with whatever I happen to have in the house xx

    Made this for supper last night. Really enjoyed it. I did pre cook the sweet potato slices first to make sure they would be soft when the eggs etc were added. I also added sliced chestnut mushrooms.

    Great dish. Transforms the regular potato tortilla, which is one of my go-to meals when I�m stuck for something to make. But this one is a different entity altogether. I�m going to make it again today as it is great warm or at room temperature with a salad. YUM!

    Very tasty and easy to cook. Was a great change from an ordinary potato tortilla. Will be making again.

    This is such a good recipe, if I am in a rush I abandon the red pepper sauce and just add the pepper to the tortilla. It's a real favourite and worth an eat. Kate http://eatingclub.blogspot.com/

    A very easy, tasty recipe. It made a change from the Spanish tortilla I usually make. I too added some caramelised red onions before adding the eggs and it worked really well. Great for a quick supper, but I even served it with a beetroot and rocket salad last night when we had some friends over for a casual supper. Everyone loved it.

    My son had to cook a recipe using eggs in his home cooking class at school. Apparently everyone else cooked an omelette or boiled egg but he cooked this although the teacher substituted ordinary potatoes for the sweet potato. It was really lovely and the red pepper sauce, using a jar apparently, was equally delicious.

    Delicious, particularly the tangy sauce. I found that I needed to cook the sweet potatoes for slightly longer at the beginning to soften them, and I added a splash of water to stop them catching on the base of the pan. I served it with green vegetables. Everyone enjoyed it - I'll definitely make it again.

    This is really simple and really tasty - a quick (yet impressive looking) supper accompanied by a nice green salad. The tangy sauce is amazing - I will definitely make that again (regularly) as I think it would go with lots of other things. Think I'll try it with a jar of roast tomatoes too.

    I make this regularly and it is always popular. I've revised the recipe slightly and now puree the roasted, peeled peppers and mix them through the egg mix. It makes a beautifully coloured tortilla. PS It's really easy to make your own roast peppers, I don't understand why you would buy them. Whenever I have a few older peppers I roast them in olive oil and then throw them in a freezer bag before peeling. Then they keep in the fridge in oil for ages (or they would if they weren't so damn tasty).
