Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 pinch Saffron threads
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into thin slices or small cubes of equal size to ensure even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook them for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're golden and tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the saffron threads and 1 tablespoon of water. Allow them to steep while preparing the other ingredients.
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, saffron water, salt, black pepper, and finely minced garlic. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Heat the butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Pour the potato and egg mixture into the skillet. Use a spatula to spread the potatoes evenly across the pan.
Cook the omelet undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the center is slightly wet but not runny.
Carefully slide a spatula around the edges of the omelet to ensure it is not sticking. If desired, flip the omelet by placing a large plate over the skillet, inverting it, and then sliding the omelet back into the skillet to finish cooking the other side for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Slice the omelet into wedges and serve warm.
