Mom's Easy Potato Omelet


Mom's Easy Potato Omelet is called "Frittata di Patate" in Italy. It is a light and delicious potato omelet that can be made in just a few minutes!  With simple ingredients, you can whip up a quick meal.

On weekends,  my son usually requests this potato omelet for breakfast.  It's a simple and easy recipe to make anytime. Its also great to serve at a brunch, lunch or dinner.  Try it!


Mom's Easy Potato Omelet
  • 2 Idaho potatoes - chopped into small pieces
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 small onion- chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp. butter
  •  sea salt & pepper to taste 

Peel and chop potatoes into small pieces.  In a medium non-stick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter on medium heat.  Add chopped potatoes, onions, some salt and pepper.  Lower the heat, stir and cover, simmer for a few minutes until the potatoes are golden brown.

While the potatoes are cooking.  In a small bowl, scramble the eggs.  Add the potatoes into the egg mixture and mix until well combined. In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil,  and heat on low heat for 1 minute.


Add the egg and potato mixture and simmer for a few minutes.  Gently flip the omelet over and continue to cook the other side for about 2 minutes. Remove and serve.   Its delicious, eat warm or cold, enjoy!
