Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, then add them to the skillet.

Whisk eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Drain excess oil from the potatoes and onions, then combine with the egg mixture.

7

Pour the mixture back into the skillet, cooking over medium heat until the edges begin to set, about 5 minutes.

8

Carefully flip the omelette using a plate, cooking the other side for another 5 minutes until set and golden.

Meanwhile, prepare the tomato sauce by sautéing garlic in olive oil until fragrant.

10

Add chopped tomatoes, sugar, and basil, cooking until thickened, about 10 minutes.
