Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel and slice the potatoes

    Peel the 500 g of potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 3 mm. The thinner they are, the faster they cook.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat, add the potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring now and then, until tender at the tip of a knife.

    Tip · Here's how the oil splits up: 1 tbsp for the potatoes, 1 tbsp for the omelet. If the slices stick, lower the heat and add a spoonful of water under the lid.

  3. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 6 eggs into the salad bowl, season with salt and pepper and beat with a fork. Add the cooked potatoes and stir gently.

  4. Cook the first side

    Put the skillet back over medium-low heat with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil, then add the mixture. Cook without stirring until the bottom is golden and the edge is set.

  5. Flip and finish cooking

    Set the plate on top of the skillet, flip the omelet in one quick move and slide it back into the skillet. Cook for 3 more min so the egg is fully set in the center.

    Tip · To flip it without breaking it, slide the omelet onto the plate, then put the skillet upside down over it and flip the whole thing in one go.

  6. Make the salad

    In the bowl, mix 1 tbsp of cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Drizzle it over the 200 g of green salad just before serving and toss.

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!
