Ingredients
  

  • 2 Potatoes
  • 1/2 Onion (Optional)
  • 4 Eggs *You can add some more eggs, the more eggs you add, the juicier the omelet will be.
  • 1/2 tbsp Salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil enough to cover the potatoes when frying.
  • 4 Slices Cheese
  • 4 Slices York Ham

Instructions
 

  • We start our recipe, the same as for making a classic omelet. We peel the potatoes and cut them into slices. They don't have to be precise cuts (some are thicker, some are thinner).
    If you want to use onion, cut it into julienne strips.
    2 Potatoes, 1/2 Onion
  • Fry the potatoes and onion in a frying pan with plenty of oil over medium heat.
    Add a little salt, to taste.
    2 Potatoes, 1/2 Onion, Extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 tbsp Salt
  • While our potatoes are frying, we are going to prepare the eggs. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, add a pinch of salt and set aside.
    4 Eggs
  • Once we see that the potatoes are poached, we remove them to a colander to remove excess oil.
    Once they have drained the excess oil, put them in the bowl with the eggs and mix well, but gently so as not to break the potatoes too much.
  • When we are going to cook our omelet, we put half of the mixture in the frying pan, when the oil is very hot. We cover this mixture with half of the cooked ham, on top of it the cheese slices, and cover the cheese again with the rest of the cooked ham. Once our filling for the omelette is ready, we finish adding the rest of the potatoes and egg that we had reserved.
    We wait until it is set, and we turn it over.
