Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the potatoes

    Peel the 400 g of potatoes and cut them into cubes, about 1 cm. Rinse them under cold water.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Put the cubes in the saucepan, cover them with cold water with the pinch of salt, bring to a boil, then let them simmer until a knife tip slides in easily.

    Tip · Always start with cold salted water and don't let it boil hard: the cubes stay whole instead of falling apart.

  3. Prep the mushrooms and parsley

    Wipe the 200 g of mushrooms with a damp towel or paper towel, then slice them. Chop the parsley and split it into two equal piles.

  4. Drain the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes in the colander, then tip them into the mixing bowl. Add half the parsley and some pepper, and toss gently.

  5. Sauté the mushrooms

    Heat half the olive oil (1/2 tbsp) in the skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and brown them 4 to 5 minutes, stirring, with a little pepper.

    Tip · Don't salt the mushrooms at the start, they'd release their water and boil instead of browning. Wait until they've got some color.

  6. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 4 eggs into the bowl, add the rest of the parsley and a little pepper. Beat with a fork until smooth.

  7. Cook the omelet

    Turn the heat down to medium, add the rest of the oil (1/2 tbsp) if the skillet is dry, then pour the eggs over the mushrooms. Let them set 2 minutes, cover and keep going 1 to 2 minutes until the omelet is fully set, then fold it.

  8. Plate and serve

    Cut the omelet in half and plate it on two plates with the warm potato 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!
