Peel the 400 g of potatoes, cut them into 1 cm cubes and put them in a saucepan of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook 10 min, until a knife slides in easily, then drain.
Thaw the spinach
Meanwhile, put the 200 g of frozen spinach in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water, cover and leave it 5 min. Drain it in the colander, pressing hard to get the water out, then roughly chop it.
Tip · Press the spinach in the colander with the back of a spoon. If any water is left, the omelet will be soggy and won't set properly.
Sauté the onion
Slice the onion. Melt the 20 g of butter in the skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion for 4 min until translucent.
Brown the potatoes
Add the drained potatoes and the spinach to the skillet. Brown them 5 min, stirring now and then, then salt and pepper.
Make the egg mix
In the mixing bowl, beat the 6 eggs with the 30 cl of thick crème fraîche, 1 pinch of salt and 1 pinch of pepper. Pour the mix over the veggies in the skillet, over low heat.
Cook the omelet covered
Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 8 min, without stirring, until the top is fully set and no longer runny.
Tip · Don't lift the lid before 6 min and keep the heat low. If the top is still runny when it's time to fold, put the lid back on for 2 more min. Serve with a green salad.
Fold and serve
Loosen the edges with the spatula, then fold the omelet in half. Leave it 1 min on the turned-off burner, then slide it onto the flat plate and cut it into two portions.
And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.

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!
