OK
I've always stuck with the traditional recipe...never added any ingredients to it but I don't see why you couldn't. I'd be curious to see how it tastes. Please let me know if you ever make it!
that sounds interesting. Do you ever put other ingredients in there, like chopped red pepper, or cubes of ham or a little cheese?
This is my own recipe, which I am writing from memory so please excuse me if it sounds too complicated....it's really not.
-6 large baking potatoes
-4 small onions
-5 large eggs
-olive oil
-coarse salt
-dry parsley
-deep teflon pan / skillet
*Peel and dice potatoes into small cubes. Chop onions finely. Put enough olive oil in pan to generously cover the entire bottom and bring to high heat.
*Throw in potatoes and cook until blanched (make sure not to brown) then throw in onions. Lower to medium-high heat and keep stirring so that mixture doesn't brown. When the mixture becomes paste-like, lower to medium heat.
*Beat eggs with 4 generous pinches of salt and a few sprinkes of the dry parsley and pour into pan. Stir the entire mixture so that eggs, potatoes and onions are well-blended. Cover the pan and leave mixture to brown on bottom.
*When egg has set at the sides of mixure the omelette must be flipped over to brown the other side. Do this by flipping the omelette onto a large plate first, then slide into pan.
*cook for a few minutes and then remove from heat.
You can eat this omelette warm or keep refrigerated and serve cold. I personally think it tastes better when you wait one day to serve it.
