Instructions
Preparation Instructions | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Begin by frying the bacon in a 10-inch skillet until it is crisp. Once done, remove the bacon and drain all but 4 tablespoons of fat from the pan. |
| 2. | Add the diced potatoes and onions to the skillet. Cook and stir them until the potatoes are tender and golden, this should take about ten minutes. |
| 3. | In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with salt and pepper. |
| 4. | Return the bacon to the pan and pour the whisked eggs over the potato mixture. |
| 5. | Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on LOW heat until the eggs are set, approximately 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley. |
| 6. | Once cooked, cut the omelet into wedges and serve immediately. Avoid overcooking to prevent the texture from becoming rubbery, as eggs continue to cook even after being removed from heat. |
