Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil (more as needed)
3 cups raw potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
1/2 cup bell pepper, finely diced (red or green)
2 garlic cloves, roasted
salt and pepper
8 eggs
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 cup ham, finely diced
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained & rinsed
sour cream (optional for serving)
salsa (optional for serving)

Steps:

Heat olive oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add potatoes, separating slices if necessary, onions, bell pepper and roasted garlic. Spread mixture evenly over bottom of skillet, sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper, stir and then allow to brown slightly. When bottoms are browned, turn potatoes over to brown the other sides.
Meanwhile, in large mixing bowl whisk eggs and spices together. Stir in ham and black beans.
When potatoes are cooked through, pour everything into the bowl with the egg mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly.
Put the skillet back on the stove to re-heat slightly and then pour entire mixture back into the skillet. Spread out as evenly as possible and let sit for a minute. (Adjust burner temp a little lower, if needed, to keep the egg from burning.).
When mixture begins to set, gently lift the edges with a rubber scraper or spatula and tilt the skillet to allow the wet egg to run underneath. Continue around the pan until no more egg runs & the top is beginning to set.
When top looks only slightly wet, use a spatula to divide the mixture into wedges (4 or 6) and carefully turn each wedge over to brown the top slightly and finish cooking the egg.
When egg is cooked, serve each wedge with dollops of sour cream and salsa.
