POTATO OMELETTE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 strips bacon, cut into paper clip-size pieces
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
Dash of balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon oil or duck or pork fat, plus more if needed
3 medium waxy potatoes, peeled and diced
5 eggs
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a small frying pan until crisp, and remove to a paper towel to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan. Add the butter to the pan, heat to medium and gently fry the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove all to a plate. Deglaze the pan with a splash of vinegar and reduce until it's almost gone.
  • Add the tablespoon of oil or fat and get the pan quite hot this time. Saute the potatoes, stirring only occasionally, until they are soft when pierced with a fork and very crisp and golden on the outside, a good 20 minutes. Return the onions, garlic and bacon to the pan.
  • Gently stir the eggs with a fork, sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour them over the potatoes. Cook until the eggs are set on the bottom, but still a bit slithery on top - or, as the French say, "baveux" (drool-like). Cover the omelette and continue cooking until the top sets, no more than a minute because you still want it a little runny on top - or, I do anyway. Run a spatula around the edge and slip the omelette out onto a large plate.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Potato

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 medium cooked potato, cut into large cubes (can be leftover boiled, baked or nuked)
1/2 cup of grated cheese (I like a combo of cheddar/gouda/edam, but you can use just one kind)
2 -3 eggs (depending on how hungry you are)
1 tablespoon butter (or 1 tblsp olive oil)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a frying pan.
  • When hot, add potato and cook until golden-brown and crusty on all sides.
  • Beat up eggs in a small bowl with very little salt (the cheese has plenty) and freshly ground pepper.
  • Lower heat of stove, add eggs to pan and give them a good stir, a couple of times, bringing up cooked eggs from bottom, but redistributing uncooked eggs and potatoes.
  • Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
  • Let cook until golden-brown on bottom.
  • Run spatula down center, and carefully fold one half over the other creating a half-moon (sometimes you don't get a perfect half-moon, but it still tastes good anyway!).
  • Turn off heat and let omelette sit in pan for 30 seconds to a minute (depending on how well you want your eggs done) and then carefully turn over and allow 30 more seconds.
  • Allow to cool about 4-5 minutes before tucking in (this seems to allow the flavours to blend better).

TORTILLA DE PATATAS. ( SPANISH POTATO OMELETTE)



Tortilla De Patatas. ( Spanish Potato Omelette) image

The "secret" ingredient here is the baking powder, as that will make it rise. Normally we use left over chips for this omelette and you can add sausasges, mushrooms or even chicken. Use whatever leftovers you have in your fridge. This is eaten hot or cold. Nice either way. If you dont have any left over chips, just fry some and use.
