Ingredients (Servings for 6 people)

• 6 eggs

• 1 whole onion chopped

• 2 whole potatoes chopped (not thin nor thick - the right size)

• Salt to taste

Optional : You may add grated carrots or any veggies of your choice or even add cheese.

Method

• Pour olive oil to a fry pan and add the chopped onions and chopped potatoes into the pan.

• The potatoes and onions should be fried well in the pan , that is, till they are caramelized properly (meaning golden brown). You need to fry them for 10 - 15 minutes and remember to stir them.

• Beat the eggs in another bowl and set aside.

• Drain the oil from the fried potatoes and onions and add it to the egg bowl. Remember to season the eggs with salt . Give a little mix (Do not whisk ), cover it and let it rest for 15 minutes. This is for the potatoes to soak in the eggs mix.

• Now pour the whole mixture on a non stick pan (you may grease the pan with oil if you want ) . Set the flame heat high for 1 minute and then at low flame for 2 minutes.

• Check and release the sides and then take a plate (Plate need to be wider than the pan), cover the pan, apply a bit pressure on the plate and flip the pan. Your omelette is ready in only one side

• Now push the omelette to the non stick pan (remember to push it to the end of the pan ) and slide slowly. Then set the flame heat high for 1 minute and then at low flame for 2 minutes. Off the flame and your omelette dish is ready to be served .
