Top tips
There are many ways to make a great omelet, but simmering the potatoes in olive oil is one of my favorites. This makes them more smooth and tender, so don't boil them!
I have made this omelet so many times but each time the outcome is different. Please adjust the cook time and heat according to how it looks, which I know for sure can be a challenge because no two are alike!
Also, make sure to pour enough oil in your frying pan before you start cooking, or else they'll get stuck and not able to turn over (I've experienced many times!).
Variations
Potato and onion are the most common ingredients, but why don't you swap out other vegetables or protein and get creative in the kitchen? Here are some ideas:
- Spinach, tomato, and mushrooms
- Green lettuce and broccoli
- Avocado and salmon
- Pasta, or udon noodles
