Ingredients
  • 6 Whole Eggs
  • 1 Large=100gms Onion- sliced into lengths
  • 450 gms Potatoes- Peeled, Washed and Cleaned. Cut into thin slices and keep it in a bowl of water to prevent oxidation
  • ½ tsp White Pepper Powder
  • Salt
  • ½ Cup=125 gms Cooking Oil
Instructions
  1. We require a deep pan for making this Omelette. Do not use flat pans for making this Omelette. Add Oil in this Pan and allow it to become hot. As Oil becomes hot, add sliced Onions. Now, add sliced Potatoes. Ensure Potatoes are evenly sliced so that it gets evenly cooked. Mix well on medium heat.
  2. We have stirred Potatoes well for 2 mins on medium heat. Now we will cook this mixture of Onions-Potatoes on low-medium heat. Cook on low heat. Stir intermittently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of pan and getting burnt.
  3. We have Cooked Potatoes for 20 mins on low heat. Remove from heat. Strain excess Oil and reserve it.
  4. Potato and Onion mixture is well cooked. We have removed it in a large bowl. Reserve the Oil and do not discard it. You can use it for cooking later.
  5. Crack open eggs and add it in Potato-Onion mixture. Now add white pepper powder and Salt to taste. Using a fork, mix the eggs with potato mixture. Do not whisk too vigorously, just mix.
  6. You can replace white pepper powder with black pepper powder. You can make an Indianised version of this Omelette by adding Green Chilies, fresh coriander. Keep aside this Omelette mixture for 10 mins.
  7. Heat 2-3 tbsp Oil in the deep pan. On low heat, add Omelette mixture in the Pan. The mixture has thickened after keeping for 10 mins. Cook on high heat for 1 minute.
  8. Omelette gets set after 1 minute of cooking on high heat. Reduce the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  9. After 3 mins of cooking on low heat, Check with a fork. Underside seems to be firm and well set. Turn off the heat. Cover the pan with this plate and flip the pan. Don't be in rush, do it gradually.
  10. We have removed this Omelette in a plate. We will now cook Omelette from other side. Transfer it to the pan. Put the pan back on heat. Slide the Omelette gradually back in the pan. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  11. After 2 mins, remove from heat. Place the same plate on pan and flip it back. Slide it back in the pan and cook for final time on low heat for 1-2 mins.
  12. After 2 mins remove from pan and serve hot.
