Heat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4. Pierce the potatoes several times with a fork, then microwave on high for 10 mins.
Cut the potatoes into cubes. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry onions for a few mins, then add the potatoes and cook for 5 mins to brown them. Add the red pepper and cook for 5 mins.
Season eggs well. Divide potato and onion mixture between tins, then carefully pour in the beaten egg.
