Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the 300 g of potatoes, then cut them into thin slices or small 1 cm dice.

  2. Prep the bell peppers and onion

    Seed the 2 red bell peppers and cut them into thin strips. Peel the onion and slice it.

  3. Cook the potatoes

    Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, salt and pepper, cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring now and then.

  4. Add the bell peppers and onion

    Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet, cover and cook over medium-low heat until everything is tender, stirring often.

  5. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 6 eggs into the mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper and beat them with a fork. Add the cooked veggies and stir.

  6. Cook the first side

    Add a little oil back to the skillet if it's dry, then pour in the whole mixture over low heat. Cook until the bottom is golden and the edges are set.

    Tip · Loosen the edges with the spatula before flipping, and check that the center isn't runny anymore: the eggs should be fully set.
  7. Flip the omelet

    Set the plate flat over the skillet, flip the omelet in one confident move, then slide it back into the skillet. Cook the other side over low heat until the center is fully set.

    Tip · Flip the omelet over the sink if you're worried about spills, then let it rest 2 minutes before cutting. It's great hot or warm.

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!
