Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small 1 cm cubes. Set them aside.

  2. Cook the onion

    Thinly slice the onion. Cook it over medium heat in the skillet with 1 tbsp of oil for 3 min, until translucent.

  3. Add the potatoes

    Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with the onion. Salt lightly. Cook over medium-low heat for 15 min, stirring now and then, until tender and lightly golden.

    Tip · For nicely golden potatoes, don't stir them too often. Let them brown before you flip them.

  4. Prep the bell pepper

    Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds and white ribs, then cut it into small cubes. Add them to the skillet with the potatoes and onion. Cook for 5 min more.

  5. Beat the eggs

    In a bowl, beat the 5 eggs with a pinch of salt. Add the ham, cut into small cubes, and half of the shredded cheddar.

    Tip · For a softer omelet, beat the eggs just enough to mix the whites and yolks, without whipping in too much air.

  6. Add the eggs to the potatoes

    Once the potatoes are nicely golden, push them to the side of the skillet to make room. Add the egg mixture in the center and cook over low heat for 3 min without touching.

  7. Fold the omelet

    When the edges of the omelet are set but the center is still a little runny, fold it in half with a spatula. Sprinkle with the rest of the shredded cheddar.

  8. Serve hot

    Cook for 2 min more so the cheese melts, then serve right away.

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!
