Baked potato omelette


potato omelette

With just a few ingredients you can make a delicious baked potato omelette, perfect for family dinners.

Today we prepare a recipe very similar to the classic potato tortilla, the ideal Spanish potato omelette to be enjoyed always, from breakfast to dinner. Our version won't be that different from the traditional recipe, except that we'll cook the pie in the oven.

The goodness of this recipe lies in the soft and spongy consistency, but also in the height of the omelette, which certainly makes it appetizing and inviting. The basic ingredients are potatoes and eggs. For an extra touch we recommend adding chopped aromatic herbs such as rosemary, thyme or oregano, onion but also bacon or other cured meats which will give the dish an even stronger flavour.

How to prepare the baked potato omelette recipe

Transfer the mixture into a 24cm baking tray lined with baking paper (we recommend oiling it slightly to have a tastier base), then bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes until it forms on the surface. an inviting crust. Remove from the oven and let your potato omelette cool slightly before cutting it into slices and serving.

For an even tastier omelette, while the potatoes are cooking, brown a golden onion cut into slices in a pan with two tablespoons of oil and, once cold, add it to the eggs beaten together with the potatoes. The baked potato and onion omelette is perfect for lovers of strong flavours.

Furthermore, you can also cook everything in the air fryer, further reducing the time. Here is our air fryer potato omelette recipe.
