Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add 2/3 cup water and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Scrape the potato mixture into a large bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Wipe out and reserve the skillet. The potato mixture can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature.
- Combine the eggs, garlic, olives, parsley, thyme and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in another large bowl. Fold in the cheese and the cooled potato mixture.
- Preheat the broiler. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture, spreading evenly. Cook, uncovered, until the sides are set and the top edge begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Run a flexible heatproof rubber spatula around the sides of the pan to loosen the omelet. Cover tightly; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the center is almost set, about 5 minutes.
- Broil the omelet until the top is fully cooked and begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the omelet rest for 2 minutes. Loosen the omelet again around the sides and underneath as far as possible. Slide the omelet onto a platter and garnish with parsley and thyme sprigs. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature with Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce.
- Combine the bell peppers, oil, tomato paste, almonds, vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is almost smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, blend in the reserved roasted bell pepper juice, 1 teaspoonful at a time, to thin out the sauce. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

SOUTHWESTERN POTATO AND CELERY OMELET
This spicy omelet is much lighter than traditional cheese-packed Southwestern omelets. You don't need much oil to pan-fry this small amount of finely diced potato, and a little cheese goes a long way.

Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat in an 8-inch omelet pan and add the celery. Cook 1 minute, until it begins to soften, and add the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are lightly browned and just about tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in the chili and continue to cook, stirring, until the potato is tender, another 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the milk, chives, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the omelet pan to medium-high heat. Add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
- As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the potato mixture down the middle of the "pancake" and top with the Monterey Jack, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate.

Tips:
- To make the omelet more flavorful, use high-quality saffron. A little goes a long way, so don't be afraid to experiment until you find the perfect balance of flavor.
- If you don't have saffron on hand, you can substitute a pinch of turmeric powder. It won't have the same flavor, but it will still give the omelet a beautiful golden color.
- Be careful not to overcook the omelet. It should be cooked through, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Serve the omelet immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include fresh herbs, grated cheese, and sautéed vegetables.
