Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, about 1.5 cm.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Put the potatoes in the saucepan, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and cook 15 min until tender.

  3. Sauté the mushrooms

    In the skillet over medium heat, melt half the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté 5 min without browning.

  4. Drain the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and put them back in the saucepan over low heat for 2 min to dry off any leftover water.

  5. Mash the potatoes

    Mash the potatoes with the crème fraîche, parsley, salt and pepper. Keep warm.

    Tip · For a creamier mash, mash it while still hot with a little melted butter before adding the cream.

  6. Beat the eggs

    In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  7. Cook the omelet

    In the same hot skillet with the rest of the butter, pour in the beaten eggs. Cook over low heat for 3 min, lifting the edges so the omelet stays soft.

  8. Fill the omelet

    Spread the sautéed mushrooms over one half of the omelet and fold it in half with the wooden spoon.

    Tip · Don't overload the omelet with mushrooms or it won't fold nicely.

  9. Serve

    Plate the omelet with the mashed potatoes 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!
