Ingredients:
- 3 potatoes
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 red onion
- 1 cup lean ham, diced
- 1 green pepper
- 8 eggs
- 1 tbsp ReaLemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions:
- Slice Potatoes: Begin by slicing the potatoes very thinly, ensuring uniformity in thickness for even cooking.
- Boil Potatoes: Place the potato slices in a saucepan and cover them with salted water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the potatoes to simmer for approximately 3 minutes or until they are almost tender.
- Drain and Rinse: Once the potatoes are cooked to the desired tenderness, drain them and rinse them under cold water to halt the cooking process. Drain them again thoroughly.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking later.
- Prepare Onion Mixture: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Combine Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the diced lean ham and green pepper. Add the cooked onions to this mixture and stir until well combined.
- Layer Potatoes and Fillings: Arrange a third of the sliced potatoes in a circular pattern over the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) quiche pan. Sprinkle some of the onion and ham mixture over the potatoes. Continue layering the potatoes and filling, finishing with the remaining onion, ham, and pepper. Press down gently to compact the layers.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, ReaLemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and fillings in the quiche pan.
- Bake: Place the prepared tortilla in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the tortilla to cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set further. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
