• 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.
