Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and thinly slice the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes.
- Thinly slice the red pepper and onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
- In a large, deep non-stick frying pan, add the sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, and 1/2 cup of water.
- Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain any excess water if necessary and set the potatoes aside.
- Using the same frying pan, lightly spray it with the cooking spray oil and add the olive oil.
- Heat the pan over medium heat, then add the sliced red pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
- Return the cooked potatoes to the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Gently mix them together to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become slightly frothy.
- Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
- Pour the egg white mixture evenly over the potato and vegetable mixture in the pan, ensuring that the egg whites cover all the ingredients.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Let the tortilla cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set. Avoid stirring during this step.
- Once the tortilla is set, you can use a large plate to invert the tortilla and slide it back into the pan to cook the underside for an additional 2-3 minutes if needed for even cooking.
- Remove the tortilla from the pan and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Make sure to slice the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes thinly and uniformly to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the tortilla from sticking and to make flipping easier.
- Don't over-beat the egg whites; just mix them lightly to maintain a fluffy texture.
- Let the tortilla cool slightly before slicing to allow it to set and make it easier to cut.
- Feel free to add other herbs or spices to taste; a pinch of smoked paprika can add a nice touch of flavor.
- Serve with a side salad or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a complete meal.
