Recipe Ingredients
- 300 grams potatoes
- 1 small onion
- 60 millilitres olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- salt
- pepper
- thyme (optional)
Methods
1. Prepare the potatoes and onion
First, peel the potatoes and cut them into small, evenly sized cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a bowl and rinse briefly with water to remove excess starch. Next, peel and chop the onion. Heat 60 millilitres of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the potatoes and onions, season with salt and pepper, and sauté over medium heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the eggs
Meanwhile, in a heatproof bowl, crack two eggs. Add a pinch of salt and beat well with a fork or a whisk. When the potatoes are done, remove the pan from the heat. Add the potatoes to the beaten eggs and stir.
3. Cook
Add two tablespoons of the olive oil to the frying pan and heat over medium heat. Pour the mixture into the pan and spread it evenly. When the omelette is almost done, place a plate on the pan and carefully turn it over. Slide the omelette back into the frying pan and cook on the other side until completely cooked through.
4. Serve
To remove the omelette from the pan, either flip it again onto a plate or slide it out of the pan. Garnish it with thyme or other herbs of your choice.
Enjoy!
