  • Difficulty: 1

  • Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 4 spoon Oil, olive

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 350 g Potatoes, white

  • 4 slice Meat, pork, smoked bacon

  • 6 pieces Egg, fresh

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 90 g Cheese, Cheddar

Steps

  1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water (scrub them if necessary) and slice them thinly (use a vegetable slicer for help). Peel the onion and cut it in half. Slice both halves thinly. Finely chop the bacon.

  2. Pour olive oil into a large pan and heat it over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and potatoes and fry them for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften but do not brown. Add the bacon and fry everything together for another 3 minutes.

  3. Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them well with a hand whisk. Season with salt and pepper and mix with the grated cheese.

  4. Remove the fried potatoes, onion, and bacon from the pan and add them to the bowl with the egg mixture. Mix well. Pour out the excess oil from the pan, leaving only about one tablespoon. Pour the egg-potato mixture into the pan and let it cook over medium heat for 8 minutes. Do not stir!

  5. When the omelette is cooked on the bottom, flip it onto a plate. Place the upside-down pan on top of the omelette, then flip the omelette back into the pan using the plate. Add a little more oil if needed. Cook the omelette for another 5 minutes or until it is nicely golden brown on the bottom. Serve the prepared dish warm or cold.
