Potato Egg Omelet recipe

Written by Published on Updated on February 13, 2024 in Breakfast recipes, Mediterranean cuisine

Hello everyone,

This first post of 2024 is a Potato Egg Omelet recipe,  with very few ingredients making this an ideal quick meal.  I haven’t been cooking much so I thought I would start with a meal that takes under 30 minutes to prepare.  There is an abundance of Potato Egg Omelet Recipes on the net from all over the world.  But this recipe has a little of the Mediterranean and Middle East combined and is full of flavors.  You can also season this omelet with herbs when serving it for lunch, and or dinner.

I prepared this omelet for a Saturday Brunch so I didn’t add herbs or spices.  These ingredients are better suited for lunch.

The main ingredients to prepare this Potato Egg omelet recipe are two potatoes and eggs. I added an onion to give it more of a kick because I was serving this for lunch.  To make it colorful I grated cherry tomatoes of a larger size and combined them with the eggs before adding them to the potatoes.  Usually, when I have a recipe that entails potatoes, I boil the potatoes for a few minutes.  I don’t overboil them because the potatoes will continue to cook in the oven with the rest of the ingredients.  Boiling the potatoes saves time and the cooking process is much faster.

I know that this dish may not look super scrumptious,  but believe me you will love it once you give it a try.

These past few months have been a difficult time for me and still are in all honesty, many tell me that life goes on.  I know it does, but for some people, dealing with things takes longer than others.  I am taking things slow for now and slowly getting back into cooking and life.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
