Step-by-step recipe

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

    Peel the 4 potatoes (300 g) and cut them into small dice, about 1 cm, so they cook fast.

  2. Precook the potatoes

    Drop the diced potatoes into a saucepan of cold salted water, bring to a boil, then let them simmer until they're tender when you poke them with a knife tip. Drain them well.

  3. Brown the bacon

    Put the 160 g of diced bacon in the skillet over medium heat, no fat needed, and let it brown while you stir. Pour off the extra fat, leaving about 1 tsp in the skillet.

  4. Brown the potatoes

    Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and the drained potatoes to the skillet with the bacon. Let them brown over medium heat, stirring now and then, then add pepper.

  5. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 6 eggs into the mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and some pepper, then beat with a fork. Meanwhile, keep the skillet over low heat.

  6. Pour in the eggs

    Spread the potatoes and bacon out in the skillet, then pour the beaten eggs over the top. Let it cook over low heat with the lid on, until the bottom is golden and the top is almost set.

    Tip · Keep the heat low and the lid on the skillet: the omelet cooks all the way through without burning on the bottom, and the top sets without staying runny.
  7. Flip the omelet

    Put the flat plate over the skillet, flip the omelet in one confident move, then slide it back into the skillet raw side down. Cook over low heat until the center is fully set, not runny.

    Tip · Flip the omelet over the sink or a deep plate to catch any egg that runs out.
  8. Dress the salad

    Put the 100 g of salad greens in the salad bowl with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt and pepper, then toss.

  9. Serve

    Slide the omelet onto the flat plate, cut it into two portions and serve with the salad.

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!
