Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the veggies

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, about 1 cm. Peel the onion and slice it thin.

  2. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 6 eggs into the mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and some pepper, then beat them with a fork.

  3. Fry the potatoes

    Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, cover and cook them, stirring now and then, until they're tender.

    Tip · Cut the cubes the same size and stir often so they cook evenly without sticking to the bottom.

  4. Add the onion and bacon

    Add the onion and the 200 g of diced smoked bacon to the potatoes. Cook uncovered, stirring, until the bacon is golden and the onion is soft.

  5. Pour in the eggs

    Turn the heat down to low and spread the mixture out evenly in the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs over the top, no extra salt since the bacon is already salty.

  6. Cook the omelet

    Let it cook over low heat, loosening the edges with the spatula, until the bottom is golden and the top is almost set.

  7. Flip and finish

    Put the plate over the skillet, flip the omelet in one confident move, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side. The eggs should be fully set.

    Tip · Do the flip over the sink so nothing spills, and serve with a green salad if you have one.

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!
