Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Chop the potatoes

    Peel the 200 g of potatoes and cut them into 1 cm dice. The smaller they are, the faster they cook.

  2. Precook the potatoes

    Put the diced potatoes in a saucepan of cold water salted with a pinch of salt (half of your pinch). Bring to a boil, then let them simmer 10 min, until a knife tip slides in with no resistance. Drain well.

  3. Prep the onion and mushrooms

    While the potatoes cook, slice the onion thin. Wipe the 150 g of mushrooms with a damp paper towel or dish towel, then slice them.

  4. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 4 eggs into a mixing bowl, add the pepper and the rest of the salt, then beat with a fork until smooth.

  5. Brown the potatoes

    Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the drained potatoes and let them brown 5 min, stirring now and then. Take them out of the skillet and keep them warm on a plate.

  6. Sauté the onion and mushrooms

    Put the skillet back over medium heat with the butter. Cook the onion 2 min, add the mushrooms and cook 5 min until the water cooks off and they're golden.

    Tip · Don't salt the mushrooms until the end and don't crowd them, or they release their water and boil instead of browning. If your skillet is small, cook them in two batches.
  7. Cook the omelet

    Turn the heat down to medium-low and pour the beaten eggs over the mushrooms. Cook 3 min, pulling the edges toward the center, then cover 1 min so the top fully sets.

    Tip · The eggs should be fully set, with no runny bits in the center. If the top is still soft, leave the lid on 1 more min off the heat.
  8. Serve

    Fold the omelet in half, cut it into two portions and plate with the sautéed potatoes.

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!
