Beat the eggs well, making them fluffy.

9

Optionally, add chopped green chili for spice.

After 2-3 minutes, turn the potatoes to check if they are crispy and golden brown on one side.

Carefully flip the potatoes using a spatula, ensuring they don't fall out of the pan.

12

Pour the beaten eggs over the potatoes, spreading them evenly.

Optionally, add cheese slices on top of the omelet.
