Peel the 300 g of potatoes and cut them into small dice, about 5 mm. Peel the half onion and slice it thin.
Chop the ham
Cut the 150 g of cooked ham into small squares.
Start the potatoes
Melt the 20 g of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and the onion, then salt and pepper lightly.
Cook the potatoes covered
Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover and let them cook, stirring now and then, until a knife tip slides in with no resistance.
Tip · Stir gently so the potatoes don't stick; if they do, add a tablespoon of water and put the lid back on.
Beat the eggs
Crack the 6 eggs into the mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then beat with a fork. Add the ham and stir.
Pour in and cook the omelet
Take off the lid, spread the potatoes out in the skillet over medium-low heat and pour the eggs over them. Let it cook without touching until the edges are set.
Finish cooking
Cover the skillet, or fold the omelet in half with the spatula, and keep cooking over low heat until the eggs are fully set in the center.
Tip · To check if it's done, poke a knife tip into the center: it should come out dry, with no runny egg.
Serve the omelet
Slide the omelet onto the flat plate, cut it in half and 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!
