Potato and Tomato Cake
- 1 pound baking potatoes, peeled
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
- 10 ounces tomatoes, peeled and chopped
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 chili pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- 4 eggs
- 3 to 4 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain and mash them.
- In a wide skillet, fry the onion in the oil until golden, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the garlic and fry briefly without letting it color.
- Add the tomatoes, season with salt, pepper, and sugar, add the chili pepper, if using, and cook the mixture over a high heat, stirring every so often, until it is reduced to a thick, jammy sauce.
- Beat the eggs lightly, then beat them into the mashed potatoes.
- Add this to the tomato sauce and mix vigorously.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust the seasoning.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet, preferably nonstick.
- When it sizzles, pour in the omelette mixture.
- Cook over low heat until the bottom sets (about 10 minutes), then cook the top under a preheated broiler until it is firm and lightly browned.
- Serve hot or cold, turned out, and cut into wedges.
