5 Yukon Gold potatoes sliced 1/8-inch thick
Enough canola oil to cover the potatoes
1/2 cup diced red bell peppers

7 eggs
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon butter

1. Place potatoes in medium saucepan and cover with the oil. Turn flame to medium.
2. Be sure not to overcook the potatoes. Check them every few minutes.
3. When the potatoes are done strain them and save the oil to use next time. Let potatoes cool.
4. Whip eggs in a bowl and add potatoes when cool. Carefully fold in the green onions and red bell peppers.
5. Heat butter in a nonstick pan; pour in potatoes and egg mixture. Turn heat to medium. Using a rubber spatula press down on top to level off. Let cook for 2 minutes.
