How To Make potato-egg omelet

  • 1
    Wash and peel the potatoes and chop into 3/4 inch cubes.

    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.

    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.
