Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Prep the veggies

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 cm dice. Peel the onion and slice it thin.

  2. Soften the onion

    Heat 1 tsp of olive oil (a third of the tablespoon) in the skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion 3 min until it turns translucent, then move it to the plate.

  3. Cook the potatoes

    Pour the rest of the oil (2 tsp) into the skillet and add the diced potatoes with a pinch of salt. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 12 to 15 min, stirring often, until they're tender when you poke them with a knife tip.

    Tip · Stir often and keep the heat medium-low, or the potatoes brown outside but stay hard inside.
  4. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 4 eggs into the mixing bowl, salt, pepper and beat with a fork. Add the cooked onion and half of the crumbled goat cheese.

  5. Pour in the eggs

    Spread the potatoes in an even layer, then pour the beaten eggs over them. Cook over low heat 4 min, loosening the edges with the spatula.

    Tip · Don't crank the heat to go faster, the omelet would stick and dry out. If the top is still runny, keep the lid on a few more minutes.
  6. Add the rest of the goat cheese

    Crumble the rest of the goat cheese over the omelet. Cover and cook 2 min over low heat, until the top is fully set.

  7. Serve the omelet

    Slide the omelet onto the flat plate and cut it into two portions. Serve right away.

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!
