Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Potato
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Ham
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley
Instructions
Peel the potato and dice it into small, even cubes. Rinse the diced potato under cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a towel.
Thinly slice the scallions and chop the parsley. Dice the ham into small pieces if it’s not pre-diced.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 6-8 minutes. Set the cooked potatoes aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with salt and black pepper until fully combined.
Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Pour half of the whisked eggs into the skillet and tilt the pan so the eggs spread evenly. Cook for 1 minute or until the eggs start to set.
Sprinkle half of the cooked potatoes, half of the ham, and half of the cheddar cheese evenly across the top of the omelette. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt.
Using a spatula, carefully fold one side of the omelette over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Slide the omelette onto a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Repeat the process with the remaining egg, potato, ham, and cheese to make the second omelette.
Sprinkle each omelette with chopped scallions and parsley before serving. Enjoy your Irish Omelette warm!
