Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the potatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender. Add the chopped onion and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Beat the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Combine the eggs and potatoes: Pour the egg mixture over the cooked potatoes and onions in the skillet. Cook on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set around the edges but still slightly soft in the middle.
- Finish cooking: Either cover the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on low heat or place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to fully set the top.
- Serve: Garnish the omelet with fresh parsley, slice, and serve hot.
