This is a recipe I've been using since it first appeared in the GF magazine. The oven baking results in a less oily dish than the stove-top version. I go one step further and boil some new potatoes, which I finely slice when cold, to add them when the pepper-onion mix is all done. I add mushrooms, too, along with the peppers, if I've some that need using. I find it needs more oven than is recommended, but maybe mine's a tad on the cool side. Half an hour works for me. Highly recommended!

Just made this and it is wonderful. Very easy and looks good. I didn't have any chilli flakes, so used 1 whole green chilli. I also added cheese.Yummy!

I made this as part of a Spanish themed evening with friends, I only made it as a light filler, but everyone raved about it. I did add smoked paprika, and extra hot chilli flakes which gave a little kick every now and then - brilliant recipe will do again and again - would be perfect for a picinic

I made this, and hubby very impressed! It's crying out for smoked paprika, which I added.

This was very simple but I was amazed that a table of ten including 5 teenagers all loved it. Season potatoes well but not the egg.

Made this for a dinner party last night and it was a massive hit! Did it with patas bravas and chilli prawns as a starter. Everyone loved it - was hoping for some left overs, but no such luck! Dish was okay to prepare -will be much easier next time. Will certainly be making it again!

I added a little smoked paprika, chorizo and sweet peppers and have made my third one today. Excellent dish for guests.

@baltar I am unaware which type of potatoes you used a Spanish omelette is best with waxy potatoes. If your potatoes were too floury then that may explain why they fell apart.
