Ingredients

• 700g floury potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced
• 1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped

2. Place the onion, peppers and garlic in a saucepan and pour over 275ml of water. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 5 minutes, again drain well.
3. Spray a deep medium-sized frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and heat until hot. Add the potato slices, onions and peppers and mix well.
4. Season the eggs and pour into the pan, packing the vegetables firmly together. Lower the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until the base is set.
