Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Peel and cut the potatoes

    Peel the 300 g of potatoes and cut them into small cubes, about 1 cm.

  2. Parboil the potatoes

    Put the cubes in a saucepan of cold water with the pinch of salt, making sure they're well covered. Bring to a boil and cook 8 min, then drain.

    Tip · Start in cold water so the cubes cook evenly, and check doneness with the tip of a knife: it should slide in with no resistance.
  3. Clean the mushrooms

    Wipe the 200 g of mushrooms with a damp towel or give them a quick rinse, then slice them. Wash and spin the green salad while the potatoes cook.

  4. Brown the potatoes

    Heat half the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the drained potatoes for 6 min, stirring now and then, then set them aside on a plate.

  5. Sauté the mushrooms

    Pour the rest of the oil into the skillet and cook the mushrooms over high heat for 5 min, until their liquid has cooked off and they're golden. Put the potatoes back in the skillet.

    Tip · Don't salt the mushrooms until they're golden, or they release their water and boil instead of browning.
  6. Beat the eggs

    In the mixing bowl, beat the 4 eggs with the thick crème fraîche, pepper and a little salt until smooth.

  7. Cook the omelet

    Turn the heat down to medium and pour the beaten eggs over the potatoes and mushrooms. Cover and cook 6 to 8 min, until the omelet is set all the way across.

  8. Serve with the salad

    Cut the omelet into two servings and slide them onto the plates. Add the green salad on the side.

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!
