Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Precook the potatoes

    Peel the 200 g of potatoes and cut them into small 1 cm dice. Drop them into a saucepan of cold salted water, bring to a boil and simmer 8 minutes, then drain them in the colander.

  2. Prep the veggies

    Thinly slice the half onion. Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel or cloth, then slice them. Chop the parsley.

  3. Brown the potatoes

    Melt half of the butter (10 g) in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the drained potatoes and let them brown 5 minutes, stirring now and then, then set them aside on the plate.

  4. Sauté the onion and mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the onion and cook it 2 minutes over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper lightly, and cook 5 minutes until the water has cooked off.

    Tip · Don't stir the mushrooms too much at first and wait for the water to cook off, or they boil instead of browning and the omelet gets soggy.
  5. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 4 eggs into the mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then beat them with a fork. Add half of the parsley.

  6. Add the potatoes back

    Put the potatoes back in the skillet with the mushrooms and stir. Add the rest of the butter (10 g) and let it melt over medium heat.

  7. Cook the omelet

    Pour the beaten eggs over the veggies and turn the heat down to low. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, pulling the edges toward the center with the spatula, until the omelet is fully set, with the lid on if the top stays runny.

    Tip · Keep the heat low: too hot and the omelet dries out and sticks. It's ready when the top is no longer glossy or runny.
  8. Fold and serve

    Fold the omelet in half with the spatula and slide it onto the plate. Sprinkle with the rest of the chopped parsley before serving.

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!
