Ingredients:
| 2 | russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
| kosher salt | |
| 6 | large eggs, at room temperature, separated |
| 8 ounces | manchego or aged provolone cheese, grated (2 cups) |
| 1 tablespoon | all-purpose flour |
| freshly ground pepper | |
| 4 tablespoons | extra-virgin olive oils, plus more if needed |
| 1 | onion, halved and thinly sliced |
| 2 | anaheim chile peppers, halved, seeded and thinly sliced |
| 1/4 pound | boiled ham, cut into small cubes |
| 1 teaspoon | paprika |
| 2 tablespoons | chopped fresh parsley |
| 1 clove | garlic, minced |
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400. Cover the potatoes with water in a pot; season with salt, cover and boil until just tender, 2 minutes. Drain.
Whisk the egg yolks, cheese, flour, and pepper to taste in a bowl.
Heat a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the onion and chiles and cook until browned, 4 minutes. Add the ham and cook 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the potatoes to the skillet and cook until golden, 4 minutes. Add the paprika, parsley and garlic and cook 1 minute. Transfer to the same bowl.
Beat the egg whites, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt with a mixer until soft peaks form. Stir one-third of the whites into the yolk mixture, then gently fold in the rest. Oil the skillet, if dry, and place over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture, cover and cook until the top just sets, 4 to 6 minutes. Top with the filling and transfer to the oven, uncovered, until set, 5 to 7 minutes.
