Step-by-step recipe

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

    Peel the 300 g of potatoes and cut them into dice, about 1 cm, so they cook fast.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Put them in the saucepan, cover with cold salted water and simmer 10 min once it boils, until a knife slides in with no resistance. Drain well.

  3. Wash and slice the leeks

    Cut the 2 leeks in half lengthwise, rinse them under running water while fanning out the layers, then slice them into thin half-moons.

  4. Soften the leeks

    Heat the 20 g of butter with the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, add the leeks, salt and pepper. Cook 5 min, stirring, until they're tender.

    Tip · Rinse the leeks well between the layers, that's where the dirt hides. Cook them over medium heat without letting them brown, they should be soft and melty.
  5. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 4 eggs into the mixing bowl, salt, pepper and beat with a fork. Add the drained potatoes and the leeks, then stir.

  6. Cook the omelet

    Pour the mixture back into the hot skillet over medium-low heat and let it cook 5 min until the edges are set and the bottom is golden.

  7. Flip the omelet

    Put a large plate over the skillet, flip in one confident move, then slide the omelet back into the skillet and cook 2 min on the other side. The center should be fully set.

    Tip · To flip the omelet without breaking it, check that it slides freely in the skillet before putting the plate on. If it sticks, loosen it with the spatula.
  8. Make the salad

    Wash and dry the 200 g of green salad. Serve it next to the omelet cut in half.

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!
