Spanish Potato Chip Omelette

Report

I have adapted this recipe a little to suit our house and our frypan size. It's really very basic, so lets see what interesting ideas you come up with. A Spanish Potato omelette is made with precooked usually fried potatoes, so this is a clever way to substitute and save on cooking time.

Break all the eggs into a bowl and break up with a fork.
Put the chips into another bowl and crush a bit. Add 3/4 of the grated cheese to the chips along with a bit over half of the egg mixture and mix together. Stand while you heat the frypan.
Add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and heat.
Pour in the plain egg and spread over the bottom of the frypan letting it start to set. Add the remainder of the egg, potato mix and cheese and spread flat.
