8/7/2007; 11:22 AM
Ingredients
  • 4 medium sized potatoes
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 200g mushrooms
  • 5 strips of bacons (or bacon cubes)
  • cheddar cheese shavings

Directions
  1. Boil the potatoes until cooked. These usually take between 30 minutes and 45 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.
  2. Slice the mushrooms into small pieces and dice the bacon.
  3. Peel the potatoes and mush them adding the butter and the milk. The mush should have a consistent texture. You might be required to add some more milk and butter.
  4. Add salt and pepper to the mush. Taste and add more if necessary.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms and bacon to the mix and stir.
  6. Heat the oil in a pan and start adding a thin layer of the mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the cheddar shavings on top of this layer and cover with the rest of the mixture.
  8. Turn the omelette round carefully until browned on both sides.

Tips for Next Time
  • On my first try I make the omelette too tick and it was practically impossible to turn it and cook it properly on both sides. Make sure that the omelette is thin.
  • If you think you don't manage to turn the omelette you can fry part of it and grill the top part. Pay attention not to burn your pan in the grill.

Statistics
  • Preparation time: 1 1/2hr
  • Served: 2 servings
  • Amount of clutter: medium (1 bowl for preparing the mush, chopping board, frying pan for cooking)
