How To Make potato-egg omelet

  • Step 1
    Wash and peel the potatoes and chop into 3/4 inch cubes.
  • Step 2
    Using a frying pan over medium-high heat, add potato pieces. Add salt to the potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning often, until crispy outside and soft on the inside.
  • Step 3
    Remove and drain the potatoes on a paper towel. Saute the onion and green pepper until they are soft and the onions are translucent. Add the onions and peppers to the potatoes.
  • Step 4
    Beat the eggs and scramble them to your liking. Add the onion/potato mixture when they are almost done or you can serve the eggs separately with the potatoes on the side. Adjust seasoning. If you prefer, you can add a little sofrito on top of the eggs.
