PREPARATION:

- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and set aside.
- Lightly beat the eggs with a little salt. Mix eggs with the potatoes.
- Pour a small amount of oil in the frying pan and heat.
- Place your potato and egg mixture into the pan and cook on a low heat for 15 minutes or until you see it turning golden. Do not overcook as it will be dry.
- When it's ready on one side, put a plate on the top of the frying pan, quickly flip the frying pan over so the omelette is on the plate, slide the omelette into the frying pan to cook the other side.
- Serve immediately, cut into triangles.
