potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen fries

Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor, while frozen fries save prep time.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

1

Peel and clean 8 potatoes, then cut them into fry shapes.

2

Soak the potato fries in room temperature water for about 10 minutes to remove starch, then drain and set aside.

3

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the potato pieces and fry for about 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.

4

Remove the fries from the hot oil and place them on a kitchen towel to drain excess oil.

5

Chop carrots, green bell pepper, and red onion into very small pieces and set aside.

6

Crack 2 medium eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and beat until well mixed.

7

Add the chopped vegetables (carrots, green bell pepper, and onions) to the egg mixture and mix well.

8

Arrange the fried potatoes nicely in the pan, then pour the egg and vegetable mixture over the fries, spreading it out evenly.

9

Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for about 5 to 8 minutes.

10

Check the bottom of the omelette; if it is nicely colored, flip it using a flat plate, then return it to the pan with some added oil.

11

Cover the pan again and cook for about 5 minutes on low heat until the other side is golden brown.

12

Serve the omelette immediately while hot, optionally with tomato sauce or coleslaw.
