Turn the oven on to broil or to 220 °C so it's nice and hot when it's time to brown the top.
Cook the potatoes
Peel the 530 g of potatoes and cut them into thin 3 mm slices. Drop them into a saucepan of cold salted water, bring to a boil, then let them simmer 8 min and drain well.
Tip · Pat the slices really dry after draining them, or the water makes the omelet soggy and the potatoes won't brown well.
Make the egg mixture
In the mixing bowl, beat the 6 eggs with the 7 cl of crème fraîche, salt, pepper and the chopped parsley. Add half of the shredded cheese (50 g) and stir.
Brown the potatoes
Heat the olive oil and 15 g of butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the slices 6 min, flipping them halfway through.
Pour in the eggs
Turn the heat down to medium-low, add the rest of the butter (20 g) in small pieces, then pour the eggs over the potatoes. Let it cook 5 min without stirring, until the edge is set.
Add the cheese
Scatter the rest of the shredded cheese (50 g) over the whole surface of the omelet.
Brown it in the oven
Slide the skillet into the oven under the broiler for 4 to 5 min, until the top is golden and the eggs are fully set, with no runny bits.
Tip · Careful, the skillet handle will be scorching hot when it comes out of the oven: use a dish towel or an oven mitt, and keep the skillet on a middle rack so the top doesn't burn.
Serve the omelet
Loosen the edges with the spatula, cut into wedges and serve right away, with a little fresh parsley if you saved some.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.
How long does it keep?
Eat it fresh. An omelet is best soft, fresh out of the pan: reheated, it turns rubbery. Make it the day you eat it, it's done in 5 minutes!
