Ingredients
cooked potato
1 medium (cut into large cubes (can be leftover boiled, baked, or microwaved))
grated cheese
1/2 cup (a combination of cheddar, gouda, and edam is recommended, but feel free to use your favorite type of cheese)
eggs
2-3 (beaten)
butter or olive oil
1 tablespoon (for cooking)
Instructions
1
Begin by melting the butter (or heating the olive oil) in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
2
Once hot, add the cubes of cooked potato to the pan. Sauté them until they are golden-brown and crispy on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3
While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a small bowl. Beat them lightly with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
4
Reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs over the golden potatoes in the pan. Stir gently to redistribute the ingredients, lifting the cooked eggs from the bottom and allowing the uncooked eggs to flow around.
5
Sprinkle the generous amount of shredded cheese evenly over the top of the eggs and potatoes.
6
Allow the omelette to cook undisturbed until the bottom is golden-brown and the edges begin to set, about 3-4 minutes.
7
Using a spatula, carefully run it down the center of the omelette and fold one half over the other, creating a half-moon shape. It doesn't have to be perfect; the taste is what counts!
8
Turn off the heat and let the omelette rest in the pan for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your preferred doneness for the eggs.
9
Gently turn the omelette over with the spatula and allow it to cook for another 30 seconds.
10
Once cooked to your liking, slide the omelette onto a plate and let it cool for 4-5 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
